I used to eat it with my mom. So I miss both mom and the coffee cake that
we shared.

I'd have to hunt down a coffee cake recipe that would be similar. I know
what to use as a filling. Solo almond flavored stuff. I'm not sure of the
complete name. And sprinkle some sliced almonds on top. I think I may
work on this and report back. Stay tuned!

They still have pound cake. That was Crash's first contribution to a meal
when we first started seeing each other. If I wanted some now, I think I'd
be inclined to make my own. Pre-fab foods are holding less and less appeal
for me. In most cases, I can do better.
