LAUSD Coffee Cake

A couple of months ago, I hosted a brunch for a few of my friends from high school [well, technically we’ve all known each other since elementary school]. One of my friends brought a coffee cake to the brunch. All of us were slowly eating it because it tasted so darned familiar.

“I’ve had this before…” i said, “but I can’t figure out WHERE.”

Jana smiled at me and said, “think down memory lane…it’s a recipe from a long, long time ago.”

Judy shouted, “OH MY GOSH, this is the coffee cake recipe from junior high school!! I used to eat this all the time!”

When she said “all the time”, she wasn’t kidding – we all did. It was our go-to snack/breakfast during recess. You know…back in the day when calories didn’t mean anything because you could burn it off by simply breathing.

I’ve been craving this coffee cake so I thought I’d do a nice thing and make some for my co-workers [who sadly, can not burn off the calories from this coffee cake just by breathing…but don’t tell them I said that!].
