Crumb Coffee Cake

This is a recipe that my Aunt Jane gave to me many years ago. And I have been making this coffee cake once a week since then. I will not go out to any supermarkets or bakeries to buy this because I feel this recipe is the best out there with all of the other million crumb coffee cake recipes out there. You can put a simple glaze on it, chocolate glaze, powdered sugar and even color the glaze for the holidays. Either way, I promise you that you will love it. It is super easy and stays in a airtight container for quite a while, unlike the store brands that get hard with in day or two. And I can't forget to bring over some to my best friend Jackie today because this is her favorite...Enjoy!!!
