REVIEWS:

This was so easy & delicious! Great coffee cake. Have made this a couple of times & each time I get raves. Definitely a keeper.

This was easy and delicious. I substituted 1/2 C applesauce for 1/2 C butter. I could have left out a little of the sugar to make up for it, but it was still very yummy!

My family loved this. It was very moist. I added about 1/4 cup more chopped pecans.

I was trying to find a coffee cake recipe that would replace the lost one from my husband's grandma. Low and behold, I came upon this recipe and it was a definite hit with the entire family. Very easy to make, I almost have it memorized. That's how often I make this now! My 12-year old son can even make it.

If you live at a high altitude (I live in CO) you're going to have to alter this a LOT!! I tried it last night and ended up with an expensive mess that collapsed completely in the middle! How disappointing!

My mother has been making this cake for years. It is my favorite cake of all time. We have it every Thanksgiving and Christmas for sure!

I have made this twice already and I am getting rave reviews from my family. It is easy to make and the flavor is wonderful. This is eary enough for the very novice cook.
