The batter was too thick. Followed the recipe to the letter and didn't have enough batter to finish filling my bundt pan, even after I thinned it a bit.

Ok recipe, but something was off... I used frozen raspberries and walnuts instead of pecans. I didn't have any particular problems with the consistency or the process, I just didn't like the taste. Probably won't make it again.

Great cake! I used frozen raspberries and didn't put nuts in and it still was very tasty.

All I can say is WOW!! This is the best thing I have ever done with black raspberries, sides jelly of course! I took this to a summer party and it got rave reviews. Even the kids ate it, seeds and all. Thanks, Sherry

Cake is yummy. I wish I would have read the other reviews first. Definitely let the cake cool a little before removing from the pan, mine was a little lopsided. Also, I was glad to see that others stated the batter was thick, I was afraid I did something wrong. Otherwise, I will definitely make it again.

I was disappointed after all the great reviews; I only used one cup of pecans like most people said and I love pecans but I thought it was too crunchy. My husband on the other had is eating the cake right now and thinks it is "great". I did add a chocolate glaze rather than the plain vanilla one. It also took longer to bake than the recipe said.Next time I will only put nuts in the bottom of the pan to come out on the top of the cake and perhaps that will work better for me.

This recipe was a huge success with my friends! I don't have much luck with coffeecake/muffin recipes, but this one came out great! The batter is a bit thick - it doesn't 'pour' - but I didn't have any problems spreading it over the berries. I agree with another member that halfed the amount of pecans....that was plenty. I added a few drops of fresh lemon juice to the icing - it was great!

Excellent coffee cake! Superbly moist, just the right amount of sweet. Wonderful.

This was just ok, next time I will find another way to use my freshly picked blackberries. Batter was very thick and hard to spread and you should probably cool longer before removing the cake from the pan as to let the berries stay put. Icing is very sweet.

Very sweet-good for a brunch. I used all blackberries and toasted walnuts. Everyone liked it. Thanks for the recipe. It was a nice change from plain coffee cake.

This was very tasty. Next time I would add half the amount of pecans, it was just too many for my family. I mixed blackberries and raspberries, very good combo.
