German Peach Coffee Cake

When I came across the recipe in one of my mother's old cookbooks, I was completely drawn in. First of all, anything found in a tattered, dusty cookbook, immediately makes me feel like I tapped a goldmine. Second, was the German aspect of it. See, my mother spent much of her youth/adolescence in Europe. So again... a connection. Anyway, I thought this was definitely blog worthy.
