My sister Charline was a very good cook, her secret was to always be prepared. If you arrived without calling, she would put on a fresh pot of coffee and whip this up and have it smelling like heaven as you sat down to the kitchen table for a chat. Easy to make - forget the box, this is what you can use for simple quick cake for friends or family game nite

"Folks will be lining up in your kitchen while this coffee cake is baking- then they'll come back for more once they've tasted it! Along with aah-some aroma and flavor, the fruity treat from Lauren Heyn of Oak Creek, Wisconsin is light and tender- and sure to be a hit whenever you serve it."
