Every friday I play crib, a card game, and one person brings baking. My roommate brought stuff last time and the friends whom home we went to did already bake something. I thought about doing something like peanut butter cookies but really like a good coffee cake. If anyone has a recipe that they could send that would be great. We always have coffee and I thought a coffee cake would complament it nicely. Thanks in advance.
