Cinnamon Nut Coffee Cake

SUBMITTED BY: Carol Ice

"On Sundays, friends and neighbors would stop at my Auntie Rae and Uncle Gene's house. Auntie Rae never cooked on Sundays, so she'd make this coffee cake on Sunday evening, from her own special 'receipt', as she called it. The next day, she'd serve it from the warming closet of her cast-iron kitchen range."

Yum! I made these as muffins and they were tastier than the ones at my local coffee house. I used pecans instead of walnut. Next time, if making as muffins, I would cover for a little so the nuts do not burn. I have to remove a few before serving

Cake came out great but tastewise, it's too dry. Does anybody know how to make it moist?

This recipe produced a light, spongy delicious cake ! I will definitely make again. A couple of notes to help future preparers.... This recipe should definitely be made in a pan SMALLER than 13x9 inches. 9x9 or 12x8 would work. Or else I would make 1.5x the recipe for a 13x9 pan (scale it to 18 servings or calculate yourself using '3 eggs'). I poured the batter into a 13x9 pan and it was so little i ended up scraping it into another pan. Consider adding mini chocolate chips either to the topping or mix into the batter. If you make extra topping by accident, you could save it in the fridge & use it to top waffles. I put the brown sugar/nut mixture only ontop of my cake, i didnt mix it throughout and it worked out well.
