JoAnna's Notes:  My Bohemian heritage comes out when I yearn for the
types of food my mother and grandmother would bake.  This coffeecake
is an example.  It is so simple, yet tastes like you spent hours
slaving over an oven.  Try it on your family one of these weekends
and see if it doesn't become a family favorite.
