A hit with my family of coffee cake lovers (we call it breakfast cake). I substituted mayonnaise for the eggs (my last eggs were confiscated for another cooking project and no time to run to the store) and it was SO GOOD that way, very moist.

Great recipe. Baked it 30min in a round cake pan and was nice and moist. Used brown sugar for the topping and added chopped pecans.

 Tay (Texas) says:
I made this with half brown and half white sugar for the batter and all brown sugar for the topping. I layered in half the batter, swirled in half the topping, other half of the batter and evenly spread the topping over the top, in a round 9-inch cake pan. The neighbours were banging on the window. I must say, it's a definite make again and again cake. I did have to add 1 tsp of cinnamon to the batter. I also tried chopped walnuts and/or apples. Both turned out lovely.

Just made this coffee cake. I doubled it and used a 9x13 pan. I was amazed at how tall the cake was. Great recipe with excellent flavor.

 Melanie (Maine) says:
Very good! I added 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and like many others I had to bake it for 30 minutes. But it was GREAT! Lots of yummy crumb topping! Easy to mix up too. You can mix up the whole thing, topping included, in the time it takes to warm up the oven, maybe 10 minutes. So in a maximum of 40 minutes, you have a homemade coffee cake! Lots of possibilities here too. . . fruits added, nuts added, drizzled icings, etc. Have fun!
