German Coffeecake This is a delicious, easy coffeecake recipe from the Amish Cook archives, appearing in the column back in 2001 when Elizabeth Coblentz still penned it. Note the use of lard in the recipe. You can substitute it with butter or shortening, but Elizabeth was very "old school" and often used lard. A new generation of Amish cooks seem to be use it less. Anyway, try -- and enjoy -- this recipe! I've added a photo to this post...this comes to us from Magdalena Perks who runs the Plain Anglican blog, her blog is a great place to explore simplicity from not an Amish angle but an Anglican one. Magdalena make the coffeecake and said it turned out great, so glad it worked out. The photo looks delicious!
