Fantastic recipe! I've been making this favorite for a few years and wanted to make sure to let you all know! As is, the recipe is wonderful but as 50-year-olds (with teens who still love sugar), this recipe is easy to tweak. Half white flour, half wheat works well. We always double the recipe and while all of the brown sugar in the streusel is always eaten, I usually don't double the brown sugar. It still works well! Delicious!

I just made this coffee cake a couple hours ago, and it is fantabulous. I added chopped pecans to the streusel, and also I made 1.5 times the recipe because I wanted to make it in a tube pan. I sprayed the pan with a nonstick spray that already had flour. I put some of the streusel in the pan first, then some batter, then more streusel on top of the batter, the rest of the batter, and then more streusel on top (which would eventually end up on the bottom after flipping it). It baked for about 45-ish minutes and came out perfectly. Oh and I also baked it at 325 instead of 350. Not too sweet and loved the pecans that I added. Yum yum.

Not a bad recipe- however, the instructions left a little to be desired. They say to pour the mixture into a pan. Unfortunately it isn't possible to pour the mixture as it is more of a dough than it is a batter. This is fine except that putting the second half of batter over the streusel isn't possible without clumping and sliding everything around while you are pushing the doughy batter into the pan. Everything else seems acceptable about the recipe. Just take note.

I made this recipe on 6/8/11 for the "June Is Baked Goods Month" event in the Photo Forum.The recipe,except for the glaze was made exactly as it was written. Bake time was " right on the money ".At first I thought the amount of streusel ingredients were going to be too much,but it was perfect.The light sweetness of the cake part blended perfectly with the topping. This will be made again. Thank you for taking time to post and, " Keep Smiling :) "

This recipe was good, I enjoyed the flavor of the cake especially.<br/> (Although I did tweak it a tad), I added sourcream to the batter, and used banana in place of butter; I also doubled the streusel in order to fill the bundt pan. I took another users advice and used wheat, as opposed to white, as well.<br/>My only complaint would be that it did take approx. 45 minutes to bake instead of the 25 min; but that could be due to some of the changes I made to the original recipe, also next time I think I'll double the cake batter half and possibly Not use the bundt pan.

<p>Hi! I'm very fortunate to be married to my best friend! My husband and I own our own business, and I work there 3-4 days a week. We have 4 children, a girl and three boys...all out of the nest. Our daughter is Nolan'sMom here at Zaar. We are so blessed to have two little grandsons; Nolan and Blake, and two little grandaughters; Evangeline and Willow. Our daughter-in-law is run for your life here at zaar. Us girls all enjoy trying out recipes and sharing the results when we're all together! Some of my hobbies are jogging, biking, areobics, reading, and of course trying out new recipes on Zaar. My DH and I love to go out on dates to our favorite resturant, or just go out for coffee. I just recently got a new digital camera, and am trying to figure out how to take good pictures of the food I make. It's more complicated that I thought it would be!</p>
