Personal Notes:
The term "coffee cake" caused me years of confusion, all starting with this recipe which Mom baked for a Rotatory Club meeting in our home. She served our guests a dark, fudgy "coffee cake" that was delicious; but, Wacky Cake might or might not be Coffee Cake which might or might not be chocolate, or contain coffee. "Coffee Cake" might even be any number of delicious quick breads or yeast breads of any imaginable flavor. If only other sources of confusion could simply be settled in our kitchens. -BAS
