This delicious coffee cake is another family "Southern" favorite that both my grandmother and mother used to make. Always a big hit when I was growing up, it's wonderful served warm, with coffee, in the morning or with milk as a bedtime snack at nite. A great coffee cake to serve to guests or family.

Ingredient Insight - look inside this recipe

*The secret to an incredible crumb for this or any coffeecake is a simple technique; melting the butter prior to combining it with the sugar and flour...it makes all the difference. *For softer plumper raisins; try soaking them in some hot water and dark rum (optional) for about 15 minutes, then drained well before using.
