Pam's Perfect Coffee Cake




















Imagine a cold morning camping at the beach. Wouldn't a piece of warm coffee cake be a wonderful gift? That's the gift my fellow campers and I recieved last weekend. It was good to eat and good to warm your hands by.




















I have been looking for a good coffee cake recipe for years. Every one I've attempted wound up dry and boring. Pam's was moist and delicious. I attribute it to the buttermilk. Everyone was like bees around honey when she brought this out.

2 Eggs
1 Cup Buttermilk

Add Flour, salt, B Powder and B Soda til mixed.

Filling and Topping

Pour half of the cake batter in a 9x13 pan Then sprinkle with half the filling.

Then pour the rest of the cake batter and sprinkle with the rest of the filling.
