Jelly drop coffee cake

Hi…my husband's mom used to make a cake that my husband calls "jelly drop coffee cake." I never experienced this cake, SO I have to just go from his description. He says that it was a coffee cake with jelly dropped into it and baked w/a crunchy topping. I have experimented, BUT have not been able to duplicate. I thought that perhaps you may have a bisquick or other idea about this. This would have been in the 50's and 60's that he had this. THANKS!
