This is probably the best coffee cake that I have ever made. It's so incredibly moist. I made it on a Tuesday and on Thursday it was like I had made it that day. The only thing that I changed was I put in one cup of white sugar and one cup of brown sugar (instead of 2 cups of white) to get more of a caramel flavour. Oh and I added a tsp of cinnamon!

Are you really really sure it's 1-1/2 cups of vegetable oil!?!? It came out pretty greasy. 1 cup perhaps? Anyone else has idea? Subsitute with something else to help lessen use of veg oil? It taste good but seems so greasy.

Yummy! Just made this and the kids love it. The 1yr old is throwing a tantrum bc he wants more! Of course I made some alterations (dont we all?)... 1 c oil instead of 1.5, added 1/3 c cinnamon applesauce, omitted the nuts due to allergies, and made these into mini-muffins instead of a cake. Making mini-muffins makes it so much easier to pack them as a snack for the kids to bring to school, as well as, being much less messy than giving them a whole slice of cake.
