Great recipe! Came out moist and yummy! I was low on flour so I used baking mix instead, I also used butter instead of shortening, added a tsp of vanilla and of cinnamon to the batter. Took the advice of a previous baker and made double the topping then sprinkled in a layer of it in between the batter. I did have a small issue with it coming over the baking dish but no worries, it's still just as good! I also added a tblsp of butter to the topping to create crumbles....similar to a coffee cake this is one of my new favorite recipes!

This is an easy recipe and very good. I made a few changes though. I recommend adding 1 tsp vanilla to the batter. The topping was doubled 1/2 in middle of cake the other 1/2 added 1 tblsp flour and cut in 2 tblsp softened butter to make it crumbly then added finely chopped walnuts to the crumble mixture to top the cake. After the cake was finished baking drizzled 1/2 stick of butter over the top while it was still hot. My father called this cake kuchen and said it reminded him of the kuchen his grandma used to make from Germany. Thanks for the great recipe.

This is a coffee cake. Next time I might keep the topping in the middle and frost with icing for more of a "dessert cake". Uses ingredients you have on hand and very quick and easy. Great cinnamon flavor.

My husband told me to give this recipe 6 stars!! We loved this cake! I added some extra cinnamon into the batter, and put some crumbled butter on top as it baked. It turned out perfectly.

I really enjoy this cake with black coffee in the morning. Yum! I didn't have shortening so I used vegetable oil which means it probably wasn't as fluffy as it should have been. But it was incredibly moist which is how I like cake. I doubled the cinnamon/sugar dry mix and used half on top with a couple tablespoons of melted butter. I may try it with less sugar on the inside next time, it was really sweet. All in all, I made this as a result of a sweet pregnancy craving and it did the job! I would make this again.

This is the moistest coffee cake I've ever tasted! I did make some changes as suggested by other reviews. I substituted 1/2 stick margarine for half of the shortening and added 1/2 tsp. cinnamon to the batter. I only had 1% milk so I mixed 2/3 cup of it with 1/3 cup of fat free half & half. I doubled the cinnamon topping recipe and added 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts and sprinkled it over half the batter and again on top. After the cake was done baking I poured 1/2 stick of melted margarine over the top. Delicious! I will definitely make this recipe again but will cut back on the amount of salt or use butter flavored shortening or unsalted butter for the batter. Thanks to Katee2!!

This cake was amazing. I used butter instead of shortening, because it's what I had on hand. I also used cake flour instead of all purpose. I don't know if it was the recipe, or just luck, but I was told this was the best cake I've ever baked and I agreed. And I bake often.

My boyfriend loved the cake. I changed the recipe up a bit, for his happiness and per other reviews. I used butter instead of crisco. I added 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon to the flour mixture. 1 tps vanilla to the egg mixture. I cooked the cake in 2 round cake pans. I doubled the cinnamon sugar topping, used half on one side of the cake. The other half I turned into a struesel with 2 TB brown sugar, 1 TB flour and 2 TSB cold butter. While the cakes where still cooling, I poured 1/4 cp melted butter over each half. I stacked the cakes with the topped sides in the middle and frosted the whole cake with store bought vanilla frosting. It turned out excellent.

AMAZING!!! I used butter instead of shortening and that definately made it better! I added 1 tsp of cinnamon to the batter, and I also doubled the cinnamon topping and put half of it in middle of the cake then covered it with the rest of the batter. Also, with the second half of the topping I added about 1 TBSP of flour, 2 TBPS of brown sugar and then cut in 2 TBSP of room temp butter until it resembeled more of a crumbly mixture and sprinkled that on top. HOLY COW!!! It made a perfect strussel topping! I also followed other reviewers suggestions and drizzeled 1/2 a stick of melted butter over the top while it was still warm. Everyone raved over this!!! Thanx for the great recipe!

Very yummy cake. It was not as flavorful as I would have liked it to be, hence the four star rating, but it was good regardless. I made the following changes/additions: first, I used butter instead of shortening. Second, I added vanilla extract. Third, instead of sprinkling just the top of the cake with the sugar/cinnamon mixture, I doubled it, sprinkled half of it on half of the batter and then spooned the rest of the batter on top and used the rest of the mixture. I'll add some cinnamon to the batter if I make this again (and I probably will).

All in all this was a very good recipe. I will not say you'll swear your eatiing a fluffy Snickerdoodle, but overall the flavour is there. I make snickerdoodles with varying additions to the outer sugar layer, and this translates well to this cake. Sometimes we do just sugar, sometimes I add cocao powder to the sugar instead od cinnamon. As with the cookies I use Vanilla (tsp or more ot taste) and that defenitely added a little something to this cake. I also found that if you enjoy the cinnamon/sugar topping but not the crunch of it, mix powdered sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over individual peices prior to serving. If you try to do this over the cake as a whole and it sits overnight the sugar/cinnamon often goes goey or just melts in.

I thought this cake was good but it was kinda plain and a little dry. But this cake was very easy and fun to make!! The topping was great but I should have put more cinnamon-suger topping on this cake!! But besides that this cake was the best!!

This cake is easy to make so if you're craving Snickerdoodles and don't feel like making cookies then this is an excellent recipe! The only thing I may try next time is use butter instead of shortening.

This is a dense, moist delicious cake. The only thing different I did was double the sugar/cinnamon, sprinkled half of it over half the batter in the cake pan,poured the remaining batter, and then sprinkled the rest over the top of the batter. Yummy!

This batter is a bit sticky. I did use a 9*13 dish. I doubled the cinnamon toping but did a swirl with it in the batter to mix in all the cinnamony goodness. It was a mix of a snickerdoodle and a coffee cake. It got rave reviews!

I was really impressed by such a simple recipe!! I added a teaspoon of vanilla and used butter flavored shortening instead of the regular. The end result was fantastic. Instead of the 9X13 inch pan I opted for a bundt pan and added a glaze to the finished warm cake. I received rave reviews from all the workers that are in my home doing construction projects inside and out! I am very happy to have stumbled on such a fluffy, light, simple cake that is sure to please even the most sophisticated of palates!!
