In a classic mother-daughter moment, I wanted to make the coffee cake for my mom over thanksgiving. She had to help, and then tinkered with the recipe a bit, so this is what Ive now ended up with ... the blend of flours really makes a difference and I think the extra egg-and-a-half [?] has made it more moist.

** mom would like it known that folding egg whites into batter is a lost art form. Impatience does not work here, or else youll poof all the air out the egg whites. Shes convinced that if you take the time and do it right, young lady that the coffee cake will poof to well over 4 inches. With the kitchen gods on her side, her patient folding resulted in a nearly 5 inch tall coffee cake that spilled over and trashed her brand new oven. [size does matter
*** for leftovers -- if any -- wrap in wax paper, then a Ziploc baggie to keep in moistness. Enjoy!
