Grandma's Coffee Cake

Wouldn't you know that having two girls, they have different tastes. One likes pickles, one doesn't. One likes barbeque sauce, one doesn't. I could go on and on, but I'll spare you. My sister and I were picky eaters growing up and my parents didn't make us eat what we didn't like. Therefore, when I had kids, whatever we had for lunch or dinner was made the way both girls would like it. All this to say that I also make two different coffee cakes. One likes this one better, the other one likes the other better. This one is sweeter. I'll post the other at a later time.
