Notes: My favorite story of this cake growing up is the one I heard about the time that my mom (Elizabeth) and Aunt Jeanne fought over who would get to clean the crumbs out of the empty cake pan so much one day that Grandma threw the cake on the floor upside down when she pulled it out of the oven!
Grandma (or as some of you may know her as Mommu) made this cake all of the time. It is my favorite coffee cake (tied with Entenmann's crumb coffee cake- another family favorite). I never had the recipe until adulthood when Grandma was getting up in her years and her memory started to show signs of fading. I had asked her for years and years for the recipe and she somehow could never come up with it. Finally, one day I had some free time and I went to her apartment and said "Grandma, we're going to make your coffee cake today". She, of course, said "OK" (because she always did whatever we wanted- she was just awesome that way) and I followed her around the kitchen with a notebook and wrote down the entire process. I dawned on me that day that the reason I could never get the recipe from her is because it was all kept in her head!
