   By: Rose Dosti, L.A. Times, Culinary SOS, in response to, "If I were


 dying, I would want the coffee cake served in the junior and senior high


 schools in Los Angeles as my last meal. Do you, by chance, have the


 recipe?"


   Rose responded, "Our sentiments exactly. Here's the recipe as provided by


 the Los Angeles Unified School District archives. As a matter of record,


 the sour cream coffee cake has been served in city school cafeterias since


 1959."
