This is a hand written recipe to my mom- Mrs. Utterback 100119 Jersey, when we lived in Santa Fe Springs, CA, around 1956-59. She must have used this recipe a lot as it has been folded often enough to be torn and has oil marks. Can't read the correct name of this recipe so I added crumb cake, as that is what it reminds me of when I baked it. Not quite a cake or coffeecake. I too will be making this more often, as it was delicious!!! My mom must of made this only for PTA or other people, I don't remember tasting it.
