BOHEMIAN COFFEE CAKE

This is a recipe I have made since the 1980's!

Some of you may be too young to remember this,

but long ago, our electric and gas bills included recipes!

I can remember this tradition all the way back to 

Mississippi, Alabama and yes, Texas!

This is a winning recipe that I had saved

from a Texas electric bill shortly after we moved here.

Everyone in the family adores this cake.

I had not made it for some time. so I decided today

was THE day!
