Back in the early 1980′s my grandmother spent a Saturday afternoon teaching me how to make her banana spice cake. I am not sure why they call it sea-foam frosting, but I can tell you…it does taste delicious!

This Hungarian coffee cake recipe was given to me 25 years ago by my grandmother who loved to cook and bake. The cake does take some time to make…as you are making it completely from scratch. What I really enjoy about this recipe is the combined sweet and nutty taste.
