Personal Notes:
I grew up in Westchester. My mother loved to bake. This coffee cake brought back so many wonderful memories. I had forgotten about it until recently. I recalled she had typed the recipe on a small 3x5 index card. I FOUND IT! So I am going to make a point of baking this sometime before New Years 2020! Hopefully you will enjoy this as much as I!!!!!
