Gramma's Coffee Cake

By

Gramma used this easy to make coffee cake recipe for visits from the reverend back in 19th century Missouri. I'm sure my mother updated it with ingredients that were easier to get at the local grocery! This was traced back to 1860, the original is too soiled to read anymore.
