I am looking for a coffee cake recipe that my mom used in the late 1950's.?

Question

It was great but as I was LITTLE, I only was allowed one bite, coffee was considered very bad for us then. By the time I was old enough to eat a slice she had lost it. Now that I have discovered yahoo questions I am hoping to find it. Thanks.

Do you remember a red and white checkered cookbook? Or did she write them down on recipe cards?

I have my mom's red and white BH&G cookbook from the early 60's. If that rings a bell.
