Peanut Butter Coffee Cake

This recipe comes from my mom.  I have fond memories of this breakfast dish as part of special occasion breakfasts.  Since we have a later church schedule this year I have time to spoil my family a little and make breakfast on Sunday mornings.  While I wouldn't want to do this on a daily basis, it's fun to prepare a delicious breakfast to start the day.  This recipe certainly fit the bill.  My son who is the ultimate picky eater enjoyed this coffee cake so much he asked for it again the next day!
