Crumb Coffee Cake

                 If you love coffee cake as much as I do, you will love this delicious from scratch
                 cake. Light, moist and extra good served with a great cup of coffee. The topping
                 is the real winner, for me. I do double the topping but you do not have to. Either
                 way you will love this. Great for potlucks, church or any day of the week.
