Where is the coffee required for a cinnamon Coffee cake?

Zee, the cake is served with coffee -- so it's not necessary to have coffee in the cake!

Quick and easy to make, And so fluffy. Make a double recipe, as it will go fast.

So true! :)

I doubled the recipe because the first time was soooo good! Makes a thick, light batter and a lovely light cake.

This cake is so good, it was gone in a day!

Very good, quick and easy! Could be versatile, add apples or pecans, etc. Next time will butter sides and bottom of pan then sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar so that its on top, bottom and sides.

Can I use margarine instead of butter?

Easy to prepare and great tasting :) The second time I baked it I spread some of the cinnamon sugar mixture on the bottom of the pan and it created a lovely sticky syrup which , when cooled created a coating on the bottom of the cake :)

Becky, I used margarine the first time and it was fine :)

Very good, I changed it though :) I took out the cinnamon in the cake and added a tsp. of vanilla and made a streusel topping (5 tbsp. sugar, 1 tsp. cinnamon, 3 tbsp. flour and 2 tbsp. butter (I have never used margarine so I don't know if that is okay)), baked for 20 minutes and the cake came out lovely, also used 9-inch pan as I only have 8-inch round and not sure if that would work. We have gone from a family of 4 to sons off and living on their own in college and this size is perfect for two old geezers ;-)

Oh this is wonderful! I found this looking for a quick dessert and it was great to already have all the ingredients in my kitchen! This is great, but I do plan to try the idea of making more of a streusel topping next time. I imagine it will present better that way. But regardless- this is great! thanks for posting!

Awesome!!! I even used baking soda because I was out of baking powder... (used 1 tsp. baking soda with 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar and 2 tsp. vinegar). Also - I added 1 ripe mashed banana, some baking spices mix, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts... And did the flour/brown sugar/butter/salt/ vanilla streusel topping variation listed in the other comments. This combo was the BEST coffee cake I have EVER made!!!

I decided to give it a go and boy I was surprised how fabulous it turned out! Light and very yummy. I decided to make a streusel topping instead and added it to the mixture and bake. It does take 30 minutes to bake so leave it in. In a pinch when someone comes over, do it.

Very good but very little. I will double it next time :)

This was really good! It was a last minute dessert and it turned out perfectly. I did double it and sprinkled a little of the cinnamon sugar on the bottom. Glad I found this!

Just made it today, wow it was good. I doubled the recipe, and got a higher layer!

I took the cinnamon out of the cake itself, and added 3 tbsp. of sour cream. Then I made a "crumbly" topping; 4 tbsp. butter, 6 tbsp. brown sugar, roughly 4 tbsp. flour, and 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon.

What you did sounds more like my mom's old recipe, which I couldn't find. Thanks much for posting this - I knew my mom added sour cream and used brown sugar instead of plain sugar for the streusel effect.

This is a great little snack cake... I've made it a number of times now. Recently I replaced the butter with applesauce. It made the cake a bit denser, but lower in fat, and almost kind of fudgy. Really good! It makes a great, low fat, not super sweet dessert.

This recipe is so super simple and fabulous! Ecstasy for the taste buds!!!

I made this cake and what I did was put half of batter in a 9-inch round then put half of topping over it put the rest of batter over the topping then sprinkled the rest over the top. By the way I used country crock and it came out just fine.

Perfect little cake. Quick and easy to put together. I used half whole wheat pastry flour and half unbleached also added some dried cranberries and chopped walnuts.

Excellent, good texture and very easy.

This was so easy and simple, yet really good. Makes a very light, moist cake. It took me a little longer to bake, about 25 minutes. Check with a toothpick inserted into center of cake, the toothpick should come out clean. Used whole wheat pastry flour and nonfat milk. Will definitely make again.
