Why is it that a simple coffee cake can capture our food memories from our childhood. Your mother’s poem made me smile…I enjoyed your post.
Thanks for visiting Karen. I have been looking for this cake for forever. I think that poem is an old Sunday School lesson, but she pulled the Fan card often. 🙂
I am so happy that you found a recipe for the coffee cake!!! I am lucky – my mother kept a drawer with all of her recipes on 3 x 5 cards organized by type and I love going through the collection and coming across a childhood favorite! These are my favorite kinds of coffee cake – freezing the topping? Brilliant!!!
Thanks for visiting Nancy. I am going to start making up the crumble and freezing from now on. My work is half done.
Your mother’s coffee cake looks like something out of a fine bakery. Not only that, it sounds like she was (is) very wise too! Love that poem!
Perfecto!! love your story and I swear my mom used to make a cake similar to that one…I know she used the old 1950 something Betty Crocker cookbook, which I have sitting proudly on my cookbook shelf! Maybe they got the recipe from there..I’ll have to look.
I love going thru my mom’s old recipe box filled with her handwritten recipes. I always hope that I’ll find a little extra note of some kind to bring just a bit of her back to me!!
Now, I want cake!
This Sour Cream Crumble Coffee Cake looks delicious! I love recipes that remind us of our favorites from loved ones. I am blessed to still have my mother here, so I can still get her recipes. But, there are many from my MIL and my grandmothers who have all passed away, that I may never get right. It doesn’t stop me from trying. Good for you for persevering to find one that was “just like mom used to make.” I love the little poem at the end of the post too. Thanks so much for linking up to our All Things Thursday Blog Hop. You made it even more special by sharing this gem with us. Hope you have a wonderful week.
Blessings,
Nici
First of all, thank you so much for your visit to my tribute that I did about my dear hubby and for your prayers.
I’m so happy that you found the perfect Coffeecake to remind you of your sweet Mom. I loved the darling poem that you shared, too.
Don’t you love it when you finally find a favorite childhood recipe? I am happy that you were able to recreate the cake and the memory. The poem is delightful.
Oh my! This looks like a holiday breakfast to me!! Beautiful picture, too.
Blessings,
Leslie
Thanks so much Leslie.
Yum! That looks absolutely delicious! Pinned it…wondering if I can get my daughter to make it for me!! I don’t like to bake, but I do like to eat! Thanks for linking up with us at LOBS!
I am not sure how old your daughter is, but it is really an easy basic coffee cake. I hope you will try it.
That looks like a great cake – I would definitely love the addition of the blueberries and lemon zest.
Yes, on the blueberries, but this is a basic cake you can gild, or not.
It’s such a wonderful feeling when you unearth a long-lost recipe, isn’t it? So glad you found it. I haven’t had a crumble coffee cake for years–it’s not a typical cake in the UK–but yours looks delicious. Hope you enjoyed every bite!

So yummy I just had to pin. It would make a great base for other types of fruit based coffee cakes. Wonderful.
Coming by from Ladies Only Blog Share.
Thank you so much for visiting. Although I have not tried it yet, I am pretty sure you could make all types of adjustments to make your favorite fruit coffee cake since Ina used blueberries. I was just happy to eat it plain.
How wonderful that you were able to replicate your mom’s coffee cake! Yes…good advice to ask for every recipe while you can. I hope you are having a wonderful Labor Day weekend!…hugs…Debbie
Oh you can never have too many crumbs! Here in NY you can barely see the cake, the rest is crumbs.
It looks delicious, good to have a basic recipe, like you said, gild or not.
Your idol Ina, lives out here, I remember her from when she had her store.
She filmed a show at my neighbor TR’s house.
Oh, how lucky you are to live in such a wonderful area. I really love Ina’s recipes. She makes me think I can cook, but I know I owe it to her tried and true recipes.
I love crumble muffins and cakes. This recipe sounds so very good! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Big Texas Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
I love the poem. I have never heard it before. So enlightening.
So glad you figured out that this was mom’s recipe sans a few things. Your coffee cake looks and sounds delish and your advise is on point. I am going to check out some of my mom’s recipes and make sure I have my favorites.

Ginger, I think the poem is an old Sunday School lesson for very small children. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Ms. Lemon… I just popped over following your link over at Susan’s Between Naps on the Porch Monday Metamorphosis and would like to extend an invitation to participate in my Patisserie Tuesday linky party.

Thank you so much for the invitation, I’ll be right over.
It still disappoints me that I don’t get your posts.
I don’t want to Google + at the moment:) Too much info:)
Is there any other way since the emails don’t come?
Great looking cake and cute poem..
Awesome post! I would love for you to link up and share at the TGIF Link Party happening now at APeekIntoMyParadise.blogspot.com. You just might be featured next week!
Have a terrific week!

This is a beautiful cake!! Pinning it. My mom has a chocolate Chip cookie recipe that I love but I have it clearly written down with all her tricks so we don’t ever lose it.
Thanks for much for linking it up to Saturday Dishes. We are thrilled to have you and hope you continue to link up.
I hope you will make this cake, it is so easy. It is great to take to a gathering.
