Subject: mrs. kelly's coffee cake
My mom used to make this yeast cake. It had lots of butter and the filling was unique in the fact that whipped egg whites were spread
down the center of the rolled out dough. Covered with raisins and the sides pleated over the filling. After baking, powdered sugar
icing was drizzled over it. Unfortunately I've lost the recipe and I'm missing this comfort food.

Hi Ruth,
Absolutely the only mention of “Mrs. Kelly’s Coffee Cake” that I can find anywhere is in the listing for this cookbook that was sold on E-Bay:
Swedish Cookbook - Chicago, Il - North Park Covenant
Swedish Cookbook
I looked, but could not find, a copy of a cookbook with that name for sale.

Hello Ruth,
That “Swedish Cookbook” that purportedly contains this recipe is ”Come Into Our Kitchens” by The North Park Covenant Church
There are a few copies for sale on the Internet, including here:
Come Into Our Kitchens

- Thanks, Margaret!
Hi Phaed,
I had seen where a reader requested the recipe for Mrs. Kelly's Coffee Cake and your link to an EBAY edition of it for sale from a
few months ago. it was listed as COPYRIGHT 1967 with a revisions committee from 1957 mentioned, but the rest of it said it still showed
recipes as original in 1943 and a huge listing of recipes, including Mrs. Kelly's Coffee Cake. The listing intrigued me too sounding like
a nice grouping of recipes, most that could easily be made from a well stocked pantry. So, I saw another edition on EBAY under BUY IT NOW and
purchased it (anyway on the internet most all the editions are around $21.00 and shipping (or higher) at this point. I got the edition
that had the latest printing of 1957 showing.
Well unless my eyeglasses are faulty, I review the cookbook I got several times and no Mrs. Kelly's Coffee Cake. In fact, when compared to the
linked book on ebay, there seems to be a difference not only in the recipes from 1957 to 1967, but also in the amount of pages in the cookbook.
So if anyone is after Mrs. Kelly's Coffee Cake, unless my 1957 is missing something, they must go to the 1967 edition of the cookbook (that says
something about.there having been a 1967 revision committee) and is more pages than the previous editions.
While I am still enjoying reading the rest of the book, I was so disheartened to not find the recipe to write back to you and your readers with.
Shows that things do change with time ...... even 45 years ago (GRIN). Thanks, Mark in NJ

I have been dying for years to get hold of how Cheddars Restaurant prepares/cooks their baby carrots.
Can you possibly help me? Thanks.

2 pounds special crabmeat, carefully picked *
1/2 cup EACH: prepared yellow mustard, prepared horseradish
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup hot pepper sauce
1/4 cup mayonnaise, approximately
Paprika
* Special crabmeat is taken from the body. Since this recipe is so highly seasoned,
use this or other (such as claw) less expensive types of crabmeat
rather than lump or backfin. Preheat oven to 350°.
In a large bowl, gently mix crabmeat, mustard, horseradish, eggs and hot pepper sauce.
Add just enough mayonnaise to hold mixture together.
Divide into 8 portions and pack each lightly into cleaned crab shells or ramekins.

and lightly browned on top, 10 to 15 minutes. Makes 8.
