Crumbly Coffee Cake From The Doo-Wop Era

If you haven’t tried this vintage German coffee cake recipe yet now is the time to get a move on it, sister! The first time I ate this coffee cake I was drinking a tea called “Constant Comment,” which was so befitting because I couldn’t shut-up about this recipe! I think the next time my church has a potluck supper I’ll go ahead and make this cake for it.

What do you think about vintage recipes? Yay or nay?
