Streusel Coffee Cake

[wyrdkat]

I've made this coffee cake many times now. I love it so much. It's really easy and it uses ingredients that are usually on hand. My husband would eat the whole thing if I let him, but I make sure he shares!

the recipe link is here.

(I used a 9 inch square pan it and worked out well)
*I didn't sift, I rarely do...I'm kind of lazy like that.

I can't wait to try this! How important is it to sit the flour before measuring? I've never done that.
