Notes: Though made from yeast dough, this coffee cake is so quick and easy you'd think it was the baking powder kind. That's because there's no kneading; only one rising, and it's stirred up the same way way you make a batch of muffins. It's called Church bread because Swedish women put it to rise before leaving for church; bake it after they return to serve to friends who drop in for coffee.
