My grandma was a great baker but she didn’t use exact amounts of ingredients if it wasn’t necessary. There were no amounts for the butter, raisins or nuts, cinnamon, or brown sugar (In fact butter wasn’t even in the ingredients). This is to either taste or what you have on hand. Experiment with the coffee cake and have fun.
