Yummy! I love the crunchy topping it has like real coffee cake. I have made this a couple of times and found that yogurt works really well in place of the sour cream. I had peach on hand and it gave it a nice fruity sweetness without being over powering.

Moist and tasty coffee cake. I followed the recipe but added white and milk chocolate chips in the middle layer with 1/2 of the topping. Next time I will use fruit in the middle as some other reviewers did. The batter is thick and once you add the middle layer, it is a little difficult to spread the rest of the topping evenly but it doesn't have to be perfect. It is a good base recipe that can be tweaked and still taste good.

There is no way you can pour this coffee cake into the pan. It is far to thick. Is there a liquid ingredient missing in the recipe. I have tried it twice and both times struggled to get two layers into the pan. Something has to be missing in the recipe.

This cake was absolutely moist and delicious!!! I used whole wheat flour and added some crushed pineapples I had in the frige on top of the cake before I sprinkle the rest of the topping on. I did bake it in a 8x8 pan, so I had to cook it an extra 15 mins. It came out great. Will definitely bake this again, maybe next time I will try a different fruit topping. Yummy!!

My family and the neighborhood family enjoyed this cake a lot. I did follow the advice of several others--used smaller pan and added blueberries--made for a very yummy dessert. The cake stayed moist. Next time I will either change the topping or put it all in the middle like previously mentioned, it was yummy in the middle but sort of dull on top.

I ended up adding a couple of tablespoons of milk because the batter was too thick to spread over the filling. My boyfriend just had 4 pieces, and says it's better than the last recipe I tried.

What a great and simple recipe! I have found this to be very versatile - I have successfully added 1 cup of either frozen berries, frozen diced peaches, or chocolate chips without ruining the texture or taste of the coffee cake. However, it is great when plain too! This is definitely my favorite coffee cake recipe, as I can always slightly modify or add something to it and still end up with great results.

Very moist and it had a good flavor. I've had other coffee cakes that have a bit more flavor, though, so I'm only giving it 4 stars. I would make this one again, even though it's not my all-time favorite.

I gave this 5 stars WITH the changes suggested by others plus a few of my own: I doubled the topping; baked in an 8X11 pan; added sliced apples in center with topping. I didn't like that the topping was so dry so I ended up drizzling with 3 T melted butter after it started baking. Very moist and delicious -- great texture!

I followed recipe to the 't' and no way can you pour it in the pan. You have to spoon it in, try to flatten it in the pan, and then put the filling in and when you put the other half of batter in it pulls up all the filling. Very bad recipe. You will be disappointed.

Great recipe! A few changes I made; I tried using whole wheat flour for half of the flour called for, turned out really well, still really moist. Also, I used loaf pans ( one recipe fills a large loaf pan or two small) so baking time was increased by 15-20 minutes. And the most important change; put 3/4 of the cinnamon sugar in the middle layer. This one's going in my recipe binder!!!

Very basic but good and easy. I used a dinner knife to spread the batter in the pan - otherwise is can be hard to get it spread evenly. Don't bother using low fat ingredients. It just won't be worth it - have a smaller slice of the real thing. I am however, thinking of modifying this for my toddler. (He needs the calories but needs to be nutritious.) Using whole milk plain yogurt instead of sour cream and whole wheat pastry flour (or white whole wheat flour from king arthur) and adding a bit of wheat germ to the topping.

I made this recipe and it was awesome! I used a bundt pan and used the strussel filling as a topping instead- It was so moist and delicious- keep it wrapped tight because it did dry out within 2 days! Next time I will freeze half immediately- We really loved this recipe! Thanks

this is a solid coffee cake recipe, although getting the thick dough into the baking dish was unwieldy. next time, i will try using a smaller pan to give it more height.

Wonderful recipe! I used a small pan and layered in thin slices of gala apples prior to putting the filling/topping in the middle. Also, just a note...this is a THICK batter, so don't be worried about that. I thought I'd messed it up totally. Also, I used 1/2 white flour and 1/2 wheat flour and it was still yummy!

This cake was absolutely delicious! I did change a couple of things though. I cut the sugar down to 1/2 cup (we don't like overly sweet cakes) and I substituted applesauce for the butter. It was very easy to make, and disappeared very quickly! I will definitely be making it again.
