Make Ahead Breakfast Cake

Also called coffee cake. I used to have this when I would spend the night at Alisa (Brown) Humphery's house. I thought she had the nicest mom to make cake for breakfast. It has turned into a brunch favorite around here and it is easy as you make it the night before and throw it in the oven the next morning.
