Cowboy (Coffee) Cake

I served this family favorite coffee cake (that we like to call Cowboy Cake) on Christmas morning this year in my Demarle tree pan. I think it turned out cute in that shape and it was tasty as ever. You can of course cook it in a regular 9x13. Enjoy! *PS this recipe orginally called for shortening. I hate shortening and almost NEVER use it--so I substitute real butter with great results!
