I <br />consider it a coffeecake and that is how we eat it, not as a dessert cake. I add<br />2 tsps of vanilla to the batter and 1/2 teaspoon of allspice. As I package my frozen <br />rhubarb into 4 cup amounts that is what I used. It makes a very nice moist coffeecake.<br />I never use the struesel topping recipe as I make struesel in bulk and store it in <br />the refrigerator. The person that gave the recipe said that is came from another person<br />via a newspaper clipping.<br /><br />The recipe card of your mother in law looks like the handwritten recipe cards of my maternal <br />grandmother though she would have called this a kuchen not a cake.Athanasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13005869307957326671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-40829139511856187172017-06-21T08:44:22.413-07:002017-06-21T08:44:22.413-07:00There's a brand name, "Dr Oetker vanilla ...There's a brand name, "Dr Oetker vanilla sugar"Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16963279229210194333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-31225692401853184522017-06-21T08:32:53.409-07:002017-06-21T08:32:53.409-07:00Thank you for your reply comment Willemenia, and y...Thank you for your reply comment Willemenia, and yes, Lily you can just add vanilla - I find it doesn't quite give the same results - but if I don't have vanilla sugar, I do just use the extract. <br />Vanilla sugar comes in little packages -- here is the one I use that I find in most grocery stores. <br /> https://www.amazon.com/Dr-Oetker-Vanilla-Sugar-32-Ounce/dp/B0049J5N5K <br />And I have tried to make my own with used vanilla beans but I was just not happy with the results - didn't match Dr. Oeker's. <br />hope that answers the questions ... thank you all for your comments.

It might not be quite the same taste but would probably work.

Vanilla sugar, used often in European recipes, might be substituted with your own ... using regular sugar in which you have stored a (used) vanilla bean for flavoring. Not sure how much is in the packet of Vanilla sugar but use your own judgment, about a good table spoon full. I save scraped bean pods... even if they have been in milk for instance and dried somewhat... and put them in a jar of regular sugar to make my own Vanilla sugar. Hope this helps.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335361009422333790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-21658099000168826092017-06-21T06:28:27.268-07:002017-06-21T06:28:27.268-07:00What is vanilla sugar?
