jane's coffee cake

My principal's wife is known to provide delicious snacks for different occasions. I love her coffee cake. Simple and tasty. It always reminded me of the Bisquick coffee cake. Having recently made Bisquick, I noticed the similarities in her recipe; it is as if you make Bisquick in the process of making the cake!
