Whew, I've had this saved for maybe a couple of weeks now and I finally got some "quiet time" today. Honestly this one of the best coffee cakes I can remember eating. Loved that it wasn't overly sweet so the wonderful flavor of ripe strawberry was allowed to shine. I used Splenda to replace the sugar. DS is here for Easter and he and his dad have already eaten over half of it and they have only been home for an hour, lol. That says success to me. Thanks Wildflower for a real keeper!
