GRAHAM STREUSEL CAKE

My son is not one to eat many sweets. In fact, he asks for pie on his birthday, not cake. He loves this cake because it's nice and light.
This is my go-to recipe when I need a easy coffee cake for a ladies coffee or lunch. Great after a meal, it's even better as a pick-me-up with a cup of coffee in the middle of the afternoon.
