Quick Coffee Cake

Here is an easy recipe for a tasty cake that I found in Mom's recipe box. Mom is a fan of coffee cakes, so her recipe box has lots of coffee cakes that she found throughout the years. I do not remember her specifically making this recipe. I think Mom prefers yeast coffee cakes, but sometimes, there is not enough time to make one. So give this recipe a try when you are short on time but want a tasty cake.

This coffee cake is a basic yellow cake with a crunchy nut topping. Any type of nut could be used. I used sliced almonds. The topping also has cinnamon and brown sugar, which makes the simple cake seem fancier.
