A wonderful recipe! I doubled all ingredients and baked the cake in a 13x9 in. baking dish @ 400 deg. for 35 mins. It turned out very good although a little bland (reason for 4 stars). I might add some vanilla next time but definitely a keeper!

My husband gave this recipe rave reviews. I added 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla to the batter, and I was out of brown sugar for the topping so I used regular sugar, butter, a small bit of cinnamon and about 1/4 cup of chopped pecans. I must say it was just about perfect. Great flavor and great texture. I will definately make it again.

This recipe was just ok. It turned out very dense, and there wasn't much flavor in the cake. It was done in about 18 minutes in my oven. Mom liked it, but it's not one that I would make again. Maybe with a little vanilla extract or some almond extract it would be better. I might add a little lemon zest, too, to up the flavor.

added chopped walnuts - 1/2 cup to batter and 1/4 for streusal topping. Also substituted half of oil with applesauce to make it even more low fat. This took about 35mins to cook through. Tender & moist. Recipe worth revisiting.

Delicious! Best coffeecake ever (better than Hobee's even!) I used whole milk and regular sour cream and added a tsp of vanilla to the batter, and 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon to the topping.

This recipe turned out well, nice and moist, and I appreciated seeing a recipe for a lower-fat blueberry coffee cake! The cake is not very sweet, so if you like it sweet, add another 1/4 cup sugar. Also, I added 1 tsp vanilla and I think it would have been very bland without it. I made the following substitutions: used 1/3 cup soy flour to replace some all-purpose for more protein, used 1 tbsp oil and 3 tbsp applesauce to lower fat and calories, used only 1/6 cup sugar and about 1/4 cup splenda, added 1 tsp vanilla, used plain non-fat yogurt instead of sour cream.

DELICIOUS. Some necessary substitutions, of course. I used vanilla low-fat yogurt in place of the sour cream. Also, I replaced half of the oil with an equal amount of ground flax seed just for fun. This was an easy recipe that I will definitely make again for summer parties.

This recipe was ok......it was missing some flavor. Everyone that tried it agreed that it needs some vanilla. Other then that, it's pretty good.

I used full fate sour cream .. and 1% milk. I also had to cook it quite a bit longer than called for ... but in hindsight, I think it was because the blueberries I used were frozen. Next time I'll thaw them first.

This is a delicious, moist cake. The only change I made was the addition of 1/2 cup of nuts to the batter and 1/4 cup of nuts to the topping. I thought the topping amount was just right for an 8 inch round pan. Thanks for a reduced fat cake that does not taste like one!

I made this for Easter Brunch and it was a big hit. I used a bag of frozen mixed berries (what I had in the freezer)and it worked well. I also made 1 1/2 batches of the topping (husband's favorite part) and it made it more decadent! ;) A nice, healthier breakfast treat!

I liked the way this turned out! Yummy and healthy! I made a few substitutions: 1 cup whole wheat flour, applesauce instead of oil, yogurt instead of sour cream, frozen mixed berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries). It was moist and not too sweet. Next time I will put more of the topping on it, it was a little too sparse even though I only used a 9X9 glass dish. My one-year-old liked it so much that she actually sobbed when I told her it was gone!
