My biggest disappointment was not getting to eat that much of it - my boyfriend and roommate gobbled it all up! I used brown sugar instead of confectioner's sugar, and veggie oil instead of butter after reading the reviews here and it turned out great. Very yummy. Also I used pecans instead of walnuts because that's all I had lying around, and it was just as yummy! Next time I make this I will probably use both pecans and walnuts.

I have tried many coffe cake recipes over the last few years to try to find the one I remember eating as a kid. This one is the best. I used brown sugar as the topping and it was perfect with coffee! A real winner.

I made this recipe and it was very good. However, my husband and I both agree that it is missing someting. I am going to continue to look, but may use this one as a base. Thanks for sharing!

ok, full disclosure here, we made a number of changes First, we halved the batch for my small family, and cooked it in the toaster oven in a small round cake pan. Also, we are cutting down on our sugar, and since coffee cake is overly sweet to balance coffee, I often find i can cut the sugar in half. I think that next time I will only cut the white sugar in half, but only cut the powdered sugar by 1/4. I did half whole wheat and half white flour. And since we do not eat nuts around here, I substituted a 1/2 cup of crushed dried raspberries. Overall, it was a great breakfast.

This was in a church cook book that I purchased twenty years ago. My family has enjoyed it every time that I make it. Very rich, very moist and very good. I would spray a bundt pan with pam and after it was baked I would carefully removed it from the pan (flip over) and then drizzled white sugar frosting just to add more calories. One of our favorites. Think I'll make one today!

Warning! This cake will ruin your diet! Amazing! in one word. Since I am Jewish, and I wanted the cake to be a dessert for Shabbos, I used an apple sauce instead of the sour cream. (Since we don't mix meat with dairy). Also tried it with Better then cream cheese. Came out amazing. The only trouble is, it interferes with my diet. My husband loved it. Since he likes crunchy nuts, I used a cup of coursely sliced almonds. Used 13X9 Alluminum pan. I put the nuts mixture on top, and used organic brown sugar, instead of conf. Definately will try again!

This cake is bad news! You won't be able to stop eating it! I doubled the recipe and it is half way gone! The only change I did was brown sugar instead of confectioner's and I added a little bit of milk to the batter (it was so thick, I was afraid the cake would have been dry had I not added the milk). No need for worries! The cake is delicious! Wonderful buttery flavor and moist, very moist! I'll keep on baking it! It is wonderful!

This cake makes frequent appearances on the breakfast buffet at my B&B- the only substitution is plain yogurt with a touch of milk for the sour cream as I cannot find sour cream in Italy and the addition of fresh fruit (apples, peaches, nectarines, etc.) to the middle layer of streusel filling. It is always well received by guests.
