This is the best recipe for coffee cake. It is incredibly moist, has absolutely amazing flavor and texture; very easy to make.
You can make it the night before and have fresh baked coffee cake in the morning with no prep time.

inch pan. For the tube pan; 60 to 70 minutes. Cool at least 20 minutes
before serving.
