  1. OMG, Bev, this is a wonderful crumb cake recipe...It's light as a feather and very, very tasty...An added bonus is that it makes 3-8" cakes, so had one for us, one for the kids, and one for the freezer!! This is one of your recipes that I've had the pleasure of making for our "Bev Cook-a-Thon", and, believe me, it has been my pleasure!! Thank you for posting a true winner...I'll be doing this one often!! Laudee
     
  2. I made this recipe twie, and each time it required far more than 35 minutes to bake.<br/>This caused the edge of the cake to carmelize and harden.<br/>It has far too much sugar, and low on flavor.<br/><br/>I'm sorry but I don't like it.
     
  3. This is one of our favorite coffee cakes and have had this or similar recipes for years. Good to see this in print and you will not be disappointed. You can use butter flavored shortening or substitute part butter which give it a nice flavor. Thanks for reminding me of such an easy and wonderful cake.

  1. I do put less of coconut crumble on top. But for the rest it’s my favorite recipe.
