This recipe comes from the public schools in my hometown. It was a favorite both at school and home. My own kids love it too.

A nice coffee cake recipe which is definitely better warmed with a cup of coffee. Warming it just brings out the flavors and keeps it a nice moist consistency. I also feel upping the nutmeg and cinnamon is a must. For me I used it also in the topping mix so the flavors spread throughout. Thanks for sharing a great recipe.

Oh yum! We all really enjoyed this wonderful pan bread. The crumb topping was a very nice tough, and I liked the ideas of enjoying the leftovers in the morning with a nice cup of hot chocolate. Thanks for sharing your recipe, KAS in MN. This is a keeper of a recipe that I know I'll make over and over again.

We love this bread/cake because I bake it in a flat type cake pan. Always popular with our family but suggest you use at least 1/2 butter for better flavor and keeping qualities. Thanks for the submission - highly recommend.
