Quick Pear Streusel Coffee Cake

My grandma Elsie on my mother’s side was a great baker in the Austro-Hungarian tradition. Strudels, poppyseeed cakes, coffee cakes, and cookies always seemed to be in her kitchen when we visited. I found a great apple streusel coffee cake recipe in her card files when I became the keeper of those treasures. Here it is, revived, with my little twist of using pears instead of apples.

Watermelon Gazpacho
