Julie Kern-Morrison of New Berlin, Ill., loves this coffeecake.
“My mom, June Kern, made this recipe all the time. She found it in a farmer’s magazine many years ago. She’s gone now, but I make it all the time. It brings back the fond memories of my childhood,” she wrote.
Family recipes have a way of bonding family members. Here’s Julie’s coffeecake recipe, or rather, her mother’s.
