Review
“… nicely styled color photograph[s]… straightforward home cooking with a slight emphasis on hearty Midwestern and Southern American favorites. Reminiscent of an old-school church cookbook that features a little bit of everything, this beginner-friendly collection is best suited for home cooks looking for no-fuss, no-frills food.” —Nanette Donohue, Library Journal

This simple coffee cake features a double crumb, arguably the best part of any cinnamon-flavored streusel topping! The tangy flavor of buttermilk offsets the sweetness and adds moisture to the cake. Unsalted butter has a delicate flavor but isn’t necessary in this recipe. Substitute salted butter, if desired. Makes 1 ( 9-inch) cake or 9 servings
