KATE SMITH COFFEE CAKE

Kate Smith Coffee Cake image

When I lived in an orphanage more than 50 years ago, I helped out in the kitchen, often making this wonderful coffee cake and dutifully following the recipe the cooks used. Years later, seeing Kate Smith on television, I realized that I had been making one of the singer's own favorite recipes from her cookbook! -Ruth Nast, Waterford, Connecticut
