Cinnamon-Raisin Coffee Cake

By: Dorothy Bateman 
"Raisins add sweetness and nuts add crunch to this moist, cinnamony coffee cake shared by Dorothy Bateman. 'If you don't like raisins, feel free to substitute chopped cranberries or finely chopped apple,' she suggests from her Carver, Massachusetts kitchen."
