Cinnamon Coffee Cake IV

By Addie

"All the coffee cakes I make are flavoured with cinnamon. That's because of the natural affinity that cinnamon and coffee have the one for the other. This one is delicious!!!"

REVIEWS:

Very good coffee cake which we enjoyed just the way it was written -- didn't change a thing. Thanks Evelyn for another winning coffee cake recipe!

I make this one a lot during the year, not just holidays. It is a very moist coffee cake and love the flavor.

Another winning recipe, Evelyn! I made it exactly as written and it came out perfect. I like that I was able to make a cake from things that I already had on hand. We have already eaten half of it!

I made the full recipe in 2 8" round pans because we were going out of town and froze one. I thought it was good, but not awesome. The cake itself is nice and tender and has a lovely cinnamon flavor, but it tastes pretty normal to me and isn't really exceptional IMHO. Maybe next time I would use butter instead of oil for that bit of wonderful flavor butter gives since there is no other dominant flavor in this other than cinnamon. I was kind of disappointed that it didn't have a fresh heady cinnamon flavor, but the large quanity made it taste kind of odd. Just not quite right. The teqnique for making the crumbs is very cool and unique. I would try this again, but maybe use a little less cinnamon and sub butter for the oil.
