My now deceased mother-in-law turned her favorite cake recipe, "Hot Milk Cake,
into a coffee cake by omitting the frosting, including the raisins, & sprinkling the batter with sugar. I found her changes written into the margin of one of her cookbooks, as well as written on a recipe card she tucked into a cookbook which she had given to Hubby on his birthday during his single days in 1983.
