Happy Birthday KAF... and thank you for sharing this recipe, PJ! There is a cafe and dessert shop here in San Francisco that makes these beauties and calls them "Dirt Bombs." Can't say why, but the simple, perfect taste belies their strange nomenclature. I have often thought that the struessel-topped coffee cake recipein my beloved copy of The King Arthur Flour Baker's Companion would make great muffins, but no need to adapt a recipe now! Can't wait for the weekend...
