Very moist and thick! I didn't bother with the filling; just sprinkled a mixture of butter, brown sugar, and chopped walnuts on top. Only baked it about 35 minutes. Excellent!

This cake is fantastic! The proportions are just right. I removed the nuts in the filling 'cos my family doesn't like nuts, and added just one tsp more vanilla essence. Cake came out moist and creamy. I also made a cream cheese frosting to spread on top. So the cake has to be kept in the fridge, but it tastes good both hot and cold! Will be making this again

Great taste! This cake rated rave reviews from guests. I made 1.5 times the filling recipe, and this turned out to be exactly right for the filling layers, with enough left over to sprinkle over the top of the cake. This will be one of my "special occasion" choices again and again.

I liked the cake, was moist and flavorful...but had a slight aftertaste from the sour cream...I will make again and sub yogurt for the sour cream...

This was fabulous! I did modify it based on the ingredients I had and it still turned out great. I only had reduced fat sour cream (probably a good thing since it calls for so much butter). I took the advice of others and used brown sugar for the filling. I also didn't have walnuts and only a handful of almonds on hand. I chopped up the almonds in the food processor and added about 1/2 cup of oatmeal to the mixture just for a little texture since I was low on nuts. My husband ate the whole thing is a couple days and asked when I was making it again! Can't wait to try it with walnuts!

This cake is AWESOME! I put all the batter into a 9x13" pan, and then sprinkled with 1/2 of nut mix. Then I made a 2nd batch of batter, and spread over the top. To the remaining nut mixture I added 1 Tbs cinnamon, 1 Tbs powdered sugar, and 1 Tbs brown sugar, and covered the top of batter with it. I also increased melted butter to 4 Tbs. , and drizzeld generously all over the top of the cake before baking. I found that an hour was a little long, so it should be checked at abot 35-45 minutes. This bakes up very thick, and is soooo good!

Wowza! I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of using brown sugar as others reviewers suggested. This is one phenomenally moist cake with a wonderfully tasty topping. I think this is one of the best recipes I have ever found on this site. Thank you so much Angie!

I will need to be very, very careful around this cake when I make it again. Absolutely delicious and great with a dark, bold coffee and some cold, sweet fruit like peaches or berries!

Excellent. The cake flew, didn't last long. Even my nephews ate it all. The change I made was brown sugar instead of powdered sugar.

is a pretty nice cake. wasnt as easy to pour into the pan to bake, was a bit heavy...but luckily it turned out ok. i wish i had used brown sugar instead of confectioners as many have suggested here. the confectioners looked creepy on top of the cake. i also added some mixed frozen berries to the middle walnut mixture and it gave it a bit of tang.

Very delicious, moist coffee cake. The cake itself is not too sweet. I made a few changes to suit my husbands' request for a coffee cake that tastes like a cinnamon roll. I didn't have nuts and used brown sugar instead of confectioner's for the filling. I made it in a loaf pan. And after it came out of the oven I put a streusel on top (over the brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter).

Wonderful moist texture. Would have been even better with more cinnamon. I think I'll have to try it with jam for the filling.

I'm only giving it 4 stars because I took a lot of suggestions from the reviews so it changed the recipe a bit! But overall great recipe....fantastic recipe with the following changes (using yogurt instead of sour cream and 1 1/4 cup yogurt) and cinnamon instead of powdered sugar.... and that's it! 5 stars!

This was very good. I did what other reviewers did and used brown sugar instead of powdered sugar. I also doubled the amount of brown sugar mixture (and added a little butter)because I like a nice thick inner layer and crumble on top. It is a little hard to spread but once it is in the oven it all evens out. Thought this was great and will definitely make this again!

I'm going to try not to ever make this again. I ate the whole thing in a day. I made a few changes to the recipe. I omitted the nuts since my family doesn't like them (not that it mattered, since they barely got any!!!) and I accidentally mixed the melted butter in with the brown sugar (instead of powdered) & cinnamon mixture. I had to drop & "swirl" it around the top of the middle & top layers of the cake to spread it around (somewhat). But it ended up looking marvelous & marbled. I didn't like the top after everything was done so I mixed some powdered sugar, water & vanilla & made a drizzled topping that was a perfect compliment. VERY MOIST indeed.... I will try never to make again ;-)

Fantastic coffee cake. Not too sweet, easy to make..I'd been using another recipe for years but this one is more calorie kind than the old recipe and nothing was lsot in the taste. I did add a bit more of the filling ingredients for a more satisfying taste experience.
