  1. 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!
     
  2. Four stars from me because I wish there had been a sweeter topping...like the ones you find at the grocery stores with a little bit of cream cheese glaze. My mom, however, gave this 5 stars and said "this is what coffee cake is supposed to taste like!"
     
  3. A great recipe to try. Everybody loved this . Well worth trying.
     
  4. ZWT4: Delicious!! What a wonderful way to showcase strawberries!
     
  5. I made this for the ZWTII. I made this for a Dessert, but I also think it would be Fantastic for Breakfast or Brunch with a Cup of Coffee or Tea!
