A delicious cake! As other reviewers suggested I used pecans instead of walnuts, doubled the cinnamon sugar mixture in the cake and added brown sugar to it, and coated the Bundt pan with cinnamon and sugar. I drizzled a cream cheese/marzipan icing over the top, sprinkled with more chopped pecans, and served it as dessert, with Arabic coffee. Definitely my new favorite coffee cake recipe!

I made this to take to the hospital after my niece was born and it was an absolute hit. I used brown sugar instead of white for the filling and doubled the mixture to add more layers. I also used light sour cream to shave some calories.

After 1 hour in the oven & the cake nearly burning on the bottom, it was like a volcano of uncooked batter. Very disappointing. I have made similar cakes & never have seen such a mess...strongly DO NOT recommend.

I personally thought this cake was ok, but my family LOVED it, absolutely loved it. They devoured it within 2 days even though they "only like chocolate cake". I followed the recipe except I added chocolate-covered toffee bits along with the cinnamon/brown sugar filling.

Dont worry if the batter is thick it still turns out great and make sure you butter the pan well and you wont have any problems with it sticking. Great cake.

This is a very tasty and moist coffee cake. It is also very pretty! Like other reviewers, I added a vanilla glaze, and I also skipped the nuts, because I didn't have any and my sister is allergic. The cake was so pretty to cut into...the ribbon of cinnamon through the middle was beautiful! I really loved the texture of the cake, it has a very moist, tender crumb. The cinnamon flavor is very noticeable, but not overpowering. Thanks for sharing this one...it is a keeper!

I thought this recipe was very good. Probably the best coffee cake like confection I have ever tasted. The only problem I had was with the Bundt pan...The layers separated when I turned the pan over. But, I NEVER have luck with Bundt pans. My cakes always break and stick even when I grease and flour...maybe I just get impatient with the cooling process! I KNEW I should have used a spring-form pan! It would have been perfect! I will try this recipe again with the spring-form. Thanks for the recipe! At least it tasted delicious!

I had such a "taste" for cinnamon coffee cake when I made this; maybe I set my sights too high! I can say that this had a wonderful "crumb" and was nicely moist. However, the "swirl" was almost non-existent; I would recommend maybe doubling it. Overall, a nice cake, but not what I was looking for. Thank you, Ruth, for sharing this!

Very, very good coffee cake. I follow the recommendations from GinnyLovesWhenIBake (6/11/09) and recommend you do so as well. This cake stays moist for a day or so if well wrapped, and freezes well.

A very, very delicious and moist cake. I've made it MANY times and my family loves it. Here are the changes I made: I creamed the butter and sugar together, then added the eggs and mixed again, and last I added the sour cream and vanilla and mixed until blended. I also did not put the nuts into the cake, I added them to the cinnamon sugar swirl. For the swirl: I added 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cinnamon and 3/4 cups chopped walnuts. That is how I prefer it, and with these changes the cake was amazing. The longer it stays the better it taste. Thanks for the recipe!!!

I gave this cake as a gift to a friend who's sick. It went over amazingly! Here are the changes I made: I mixed a couple of teaspoons of cinnamon into the batter itself, and used pecans instead of walnuts. I also doubled the amount of cinnamon-sugar filling. When the cake was done, I made a caramel sauce on the stove and sprinkled the top with pecans. (Just melt down about a half bag of wrapped caramels with a couple of tablespoons of heavy cream.) It was absolutely delicious! Kept for days and delighted my friend.

Really yummmy. I used brown sugar instead of white. Nice texture & not too sweet. I also made a coffee glaze using 1/4 cup butter at room temperature, 2 cups powdered sugar & 3 tablespoons freshly brewed coffee. Very good!

Even with my healthier substitutions to this it still came out great! I used coconut sugar for the first time since it is lower on the glycemic scale than sugar and used organic white whole wheat flour for the majority of the flour. I used half regular and half low fat sour cream because that is what I had in the house. Even with the whole wheat substitution this came out moist and delicious. Vietnamese cassia cinnamon and coconut sugar made up the filling and I wish I had increased the amount. I am not sure, but that could have been because of a difference in sweetness between regular and coconut sugar. Great recipe!

I was a little worried when I first mixed the batter because it was REALLY thick, but it turned out awesome. It is wonderful with tea, coffee, or a big glass of milk.

great texture! but it seems to be missing something. I did make a couple changes though, half butter/half applesauce, brown sugar, and no nuts. I also did not read the rcipe correctly and made a few mistakes, I mixed the eggs and butter together then added sugar, I also mixed the cinnamon and sugar in the cake instead of layering (i misread it). But the cake still turned out great it was very moist. I probably needs the nuts and the layering. Icing would be great as well.
