Black Coffee Cake image

This recipe is from the 1980 copy of the Grace Evangelical Congregational Church cookbook from Muir, Pennsylvania. My Nana saved a copy of the cookbook and gave it to be when I became an adult. The cookbook has seen better days and I thought it would be good to post some of the recipes and keep them alive after the book has fallen apart. Also, I think it is a nice snap shot of the type of recipes these women (largely of Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry) of rural Pennsylvania where making in 1980. The cookbook says this was the recipe submitted by the then Minister of the church, Pastor Harold Smith. My Nana has handwritten next to the recipe "This is almost black and VERY good!'

I love the chocolate chips in this cake. They add a nice touch of sweetness and richness.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out right. It was dry and crumbly.

This cake was a little too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter, fluffier cake.

I'm not usually a fan of coffee cake, but this one was really good. It was moist and flavorful, and the streusel topping was perfect.

I was disappointed with this cake. It was dry and the flavor was bland. I won't be making it again.

This cake was easy to make, but it didn't turn out as moist as I would have liked. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
