I have a recipe that my mom cut from a 1951 issue of Better Homes & Gardens. It’s a light dessert and I love it. I hadn’t made it for years and decided to add it to the Thanksgiving menu a few years ago. When I checked the ingredients, I was shocked to realize that with the exception of lemon juice, it was all packaged ingredients.

I’ve been looking for a coffee cake recipe like this. Thanks!

I’m generally pretty dubious of vintage recipes…I feel like tastes were a lot different back in the day. But I wouldn’t have had any doubts about this cake. Anything cinnamon sugar has to be rockstar.

I love the idea of a not too sweet coffee cake.

Oh Maureen! I wish ladies still did that. It seems like it must have been such a nice thing to do.

I’m old enough to remember when ladies met in the afternoon for coffee and this type of cake is what was served. Okay I was too young to be invited but I still remember eating the cake after it was over. I loved it then and still do.

Tell me about your recipe … what’s it like? I have been a little obsessed with coffee cakes recently.

My coffee cake recipe is from an ancient edition of Joy of Cooking. This one definitely sounds a bit different like the process of cutting into the butter or patting in the dough. Maybe I’ll try it. I’m in a baking mood.
