NOTES : Betty's Tips:
Did you Know? A kuchen is a fruit or cheese-filled yeast-raised cake, usually served for breakfast but also enjoyed as a dessert. It originated in Germany. We've simplified the traditional yeast-raised kuchen by creating a delicious Bisquick crust.

Special Touch: Add eye appeal by drizzling edge of coffeecake with a glaze. A glaze made by mixing 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk or whipping (heavy) cream until smooth and thin enough to drizzle.
