Saturday mornings - blue ribbon coffee cake.

A while back when we had friends stay over, I baked a coffee cake for breakfast. That same day was when we were entering our food and items for open class in our county fair. I had a few extra pieces, so I decided last minute to enter it as well. The coffee caked ended up with a blue ribbon, so I think it is worth sharing. Especially since it comes together quickly, and reheated each morning, afternoon, coffee or tea break - will last for several days.
