Some of the folk from our choir are planning on coming over here this evening to play musical instruments, just for the heck of it. Therefore I decided I wanted to make a coffee cake to feed them (to encourage them to do it again on another occasion). This time I decided that I would look for inspiring recipes on line first. The phrase "not too sweet coffee cake" is so common that google suggests it for you if you get as much as "not sweet coff". However, most of the first few hits called for a cup and a half or more of sugar. Not going there. This vintage coffee cake, on the other hand, only wants 1/2 cup sugar in the batter and another 1/4 for the topping, which sounded much more reasonable, so I gave it a try. I can report that the batter was yummy, the cake rose up nicely, and it smells great as it sits cooling on the counter. Sadly, by the time we get to eating it it will be too late in the evening for me to be hungry enough to taste it, but if I record the link here I can make it again on another occasion.
