Great cake. However, for the topping I will use only about 1/2 cup sugar instead of 1 cup. The cake sank in the middle because there was so much sugar. I will definitely use this recipe again!

This cake was awesome. I was greatly complimented on this cake and it did not last very long. I would suggest lowering the 1 cup of sugar with the cinnamon to about half a cup. Very tasty.

This was very good. I was a little concerned as I was sprinkling or rather scooping the sugar mixture in the middle of the cake. It seemed like way too much sugar but it actually worked out and blended with the cake really well. I will be making this again!

Very good recipe. My husband and daughter really enjoyed it with me. I made only one substitution (yogurt because I had no sour cream). I think I added an extra egg by accident but it was yummy. I made it in a 9x13 and when it came out, I poked it with a fork all over and covered it with a butter glaze (powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla and splash of milk) I will definitely make it again! I think I'll even use this cake recipe for other treats I make.

Oh my gosh...this was sooooo good. The best dessert I have ever made. It's also one of those recipes where most people already have everything on hand. Thanks for a great recipe

This cake was DeLish! It is quite rich and buttery and the cinnamon sugar in the middle can end up tasting like a streudal topping whe it's all gooey. The only thing that I didn't do was use all the cinnamon and sugar mixture. For one thing, this batter doesn't "pour". It's a plop and smoosh sort of opperation that made it quite hard to get half in the pan and then the other half on top of the cinnamon sugar. At any rate, I only used about half of the mixture and it turned out great. I can't imagine using all of it. There is no need for any kind of icing or glaze but next time I might make a kind of fruit syrup for topping. Something with a little bite like raspberry or rhubarb would be a great complement to the richness of this cake. I have also thought of using applesauce in place of the sour cream to lower the fat content. I don't know how that will turn out but this recipe made its way inot my "family" cookbook right away!

YUM! This tastes like a good old homemade cinnamon coffee cake, more pleasing for morning time rather than after dinner dessert. I followed the recipe exactly as written and it turned out perfectly! This one's a keeper!

Great cake! When I first saw this recipe I was intrigued because I saw the words honey and butter but it's really just a good coffee cake. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out really well and oh so moist. One thing I hadn't read in other reviews, and this could just be me, is to be sure you add at least half (if not a little more) of the batter to the pan before putting in the cinnamon sugar. I think mine was a little thin in some places and the hot cinnamon sugar went right through the cake and stuck to the pan. It wasn't too sweet for me although there is a spike when you bite into the cinnamon sugar part, I just take a sip of strong coffee with it and it doesn't bother me!
