This is a nice average coffee cake. I agree with other reviews that the cream cheese layer was a little more tart that we would have preferred so if I were to make it again I would add additional confectioners’ sugar.

The first time I found this recipe was in a 1989 Treasury of Christmas recipe cookbook, though the recipe differs from this one in that it calls for 2 tablespoons of confectioner's sugar instead of 3 as listed on Allrecipes. The only other alteration is more nuts in the cinnamon-nut topping, which I would never argue with. :-) A delicious cake with a wonderful creamy center, a great choice for morning guests!

Great! Moist. The cream cheese adds cake like taste. I used full 8oz pack of cheese and reduced Lemon juice to 1 tbsp. I think I would add more lemon juice or zest and some raisins next time...

Tasty cake, took a little bit longer to cook. Like several reviews stated, filling is too tart. I like tart, but definitely needs more sugar, less lemon or both... Give it a try though.

I made this. reduce lemon juice to 1tblsp, used the 8oz cream cheese and 4-5 tabls sugar and a couple cap fuls of vanilla, had to compensate when i used the 2 tbls of lemon juice . put nuts in bottom i used brown sugar and it kinda stuck a littlwe and the cake caved when i turned it out which is was my error needed maybe 2-3 more minutes but my oven is wierd also.and a new used one i got for 40$the desighners were idiots becuase the grates on stove are slanted and offer only a centered flat dspot and then slant away so off center pans slip off .the designers were failrly reduced in basicdesign standards and mandatory grate features. like level.but hey 40 and i needed it. i either undercookd it or ? it was good though, ver y good taste.I am beginning to make another one right now.tah yahhad to substitute oz craem mit 1tblslemon juice dis time.

I have made this cake twice and must say it is delicious. I used 8 oz creme cheese, 1/4 cup sugar 1 egg dash of lemon juice and 1 table spoon flour for the filling. I tinted my filling pink. Very pretty to.

I loved this and got lots of positive feedback! I used 1 8oz package of cream cheese and added dried cranberries to the batter. It was amazing! I'll be making this over and over.

We have "penalties" at work for forgetting things and I brought This cake in for the rest of the guys to "pay off my debt" and they loved it. I swear the cake was gone in under 10 minutes. They love it so much that they ak me to bring it in again this week. Thanks for the great dish.
