I love this cake!! I do have a few changes that work better for me than the original recipe. I use brown sugar instead of white for the filling. I also put close to a cup of sour cream rather than a half cup. Then I add a half cup of milk to thin out the batter a bit. It always comes out so moist.

I decided to try this recipe to take to church. And everyone loved it. The aroma it gives is scruptous! I kept telling my husband to smell it. I only received one small taste, but everyone said it was real good. So, I plan to bake this again; maybe this week.

Great treat for a small group gathering and I was able to make substitution with ingredients I had. Followed another reviewer's (Kim) advice and added 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg and 1/4 tsp ground ginger to flour mixture. For the batter, I added 1 tsp vanilla, substituted 1c brown sugar for white and 7/8 c vegetable oil for the butter. Poured 1/2 butter into greased 9X13 greased pan and spread thin layer of cream cheese filling(instead of the filling from original recipe) then remaining batter. For topping: mixed 1/3 c brown sugar, 2 tbsp flour, 2 tsp cinnamon and cut in 1 tbsp butter until mixture resemble coarse cornmeal. Added 1/3 c chopped walnuts (reduced amount of nuts for my taste) and some shredded sweetened coconut to topping mixture and sprinkle over coffee cake. Baked for 35-40 minutes and cooled before slicing. Next time I will try to make in Bundt pan and add some dried fruit or berries. This recipe allows lots of variation and stays moist!

This was a super excellent recipe that was so moist! Everyone at work loved it! I changed some things to make it work for me: I added 1 tsp vanilla to the creamed mixture, and I increased the sour cream to 3/4 cup. I also added 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. nutmeg and 1/4 tsp. ginger to the flour mixture. When everything was mixed together, I added about 1 cup of frozen blueberries. I spread this whole thing into a 9x13 greased pan. Instead of having a layer of filling, I omitted that step and made a streusel like topping for the top: Cut together 1/2 stick butter, 3/4 cup brown sugar and 2 tsp. cinnamon. Add 1/3 cup quick oats and 1 cup chopped pecans. Mix together well and sprinkle over the top of cake. This baked for exactly 40 minutes and came out beautiful! I thought it was pretty easy to make and I'm glad that I came across this recipe. This is especially delicious with a cup of fresh, hot coffee! Thanks for sharing your recipe:)

This cake is good, I used a heavy bunt pan and needed to bake an extra 10 minutes. We only used 1 tsp of cinnamon, and didn't add the nuts. My 3 & 6 yr olds can't eat nuts. I am sure it would have been great with the nuts too. The flavor is good, and my family likes it. thanks.

It was good -not as fluffy as I thought it'd be - tasted better warm. Maybe my ingredients were off. My butter & sour cream were a scant short; I'd add a bit more sour cream next. I shorted the cinnamon ~1/2 tsp after reading one of the reviews which was perfect for me. I dolloped the thick batter and sort of spread it, not too bad. It does spread out when baking a lot. I also will use a streusel topping & not just cinnamon sugar next time. Thanks for a good basic though.

I like this cake, but find it to be overly cinnamony. I usually skip the filling in the middle now, and instead add 1/2 tsp cinnamon and the nuts directly into the batter.

I LOVE this recipe and have made it several times in the past two weeks. I do have a few suggestions. First, I don't mix the filling ingredients. I sprinkle the walnuts, then most of the sugar, then most of the cinnamon. I DO measure the sugar--if I were doing it by eye I would never add enough! (I put only the remaining sugar and cinnamon on top). To smooth the first layer of cake on the bottom I make sure to wet my hands. For the second layer of cake I actually take hand-fuls of batter and flatten them in my wet hands before laying them out. It is quite easy to join these pieces together. Don't worry if you don't reach the edges of your baking dish--this cake expands tremendously while baking. I love it!

This was GREAT! I doubled the recipe and took it to our church coffee time and everyone raved about how good it was. I did add a little more sour cream as the batter was very thick and I cut in 1/2 stick of butter (for the doubled recipe) in the topping so it would stick together better. It held together really well and was easier to slice and hold together once cooled. It was hard to wait for it to cool to taste it though!

Very simple and very good! Batter does not pour but you have to spread it, and spreading it on top of the middle filling is tricky. I wet my hands and patted it out, that seemed to work better. Turned out pretty and delicious!!

This was GREAT! I did modify it a little though, but it's awesome in it's original form, too. I added chocolate chips instead of nuts (I'm not a fan of nuts in my baked goods). I also didn't want the topping to be crumbly and messy for the bake sale, so I drizzled melted butter over the strusel. That gave it a cakey, slightly sticky consistency that didn't crumble away the way plain sugar would. The batter was thick, but it spread easily and baked up fluffy, moist, and flavorful. Great recipie!

The batter didn't 'pour' into the pan like it said to.. you had to spread it into place and the 'filling' needed some butter or something to soak up the sugar because it just sat there on top and fell off when you took a bite. I didn't enjoy trying to spread the second half of the batter over the filling that was no fun. I didn't enjoy making this recipe but I will give it something as it did have a bunch of good ingredients and tasted good with a cup of coffee!

Just ok. I cut the recipe in half, made this cake into muffins. Put them in for 15 minutes- a little too much time. The struesel topping wasn't anything special, and it didn't stick, since it was just sugar, nuts, and cinnamon mixed together. Wouldn't make it again.

I usually make muffins, but really wanted coffee cake today. I did this exactly as written, rare for me. The batter was too thick to "pour", but i spooned it on . . it spread during baking and looked great. It was fluffy and tasty and everyone loved it.
