Ingredients:

4 cups unsifted flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

2/3 cup shortening

1/2 teaspoons salt

2-1/2 cups granulated sugar

2 eggs, beaten

1 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1-1/2 cups buttermilk

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup coconut

Blend first five ingredients together, and set aside one cup of this mixture as a topping base for use later.

In separate bowl, mix eggs, buttermilk, and baking soda together. Then blend the remaining portion of the original crumb mixture, stirring thoroughly. There will be some small lumps in the batter. Add brown sugar, coconut, and cinnamon to the cup of original crumb topping mixture set aside earlier.

Pour coffee cake batter into 3 greased and floured 8-inch cake pans. Sprinkle topping equally on top of batter in all 3 pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
