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! It’s important to follow the directions just as they are so that you can get the same results as the German lady who first made it in her kitchen in 1953.
I may even put on a dress, apron, and heels while I make this yummy dessert so I can get the full effect of a 1950’s housewife 🙂
