Poppy Seed Coffee Cake image

I tasted this cake while visiting a friend in South Dakota. The memory of it stayed with me for years, until I finally called and asked her for the recipe. It was her mother's recipe, and she was glad to share it. I've made it often since then, and it's always a hit. Sometimes I'll sprinkle the cake with powdered sugar, and slices are also good spread with butter.

I've tried many poppy seed coffee cake recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the streusel topping is out of this world.
