5* all the way. This cake has great flavor and is really moist - even the next day. I used 1 tablespoon of cinnamon but other than that followed the directions. Thanks so much for this recipe. -
Very good! I used a bundt pan and added a little extra cinnamon & sugar to our taste.

I have looking for inexpensive treats made with ingredients I usually have on hand. This wonderful recipe certainly fits the bill! I added a little more cinnamon as suggested by other reviewers. I used 2 tsp which turned out to be plenty. I used the square 8" pan and the cake rose nice and tall. The topping was a nice thick layer, so no need to double as with some other recipes. I love that I do not need to make the crumb topping separately -- it is included in the recipe! Thanks! -
Yummy! This was great and easy to make. I also added a little more cinnamon than listed.

This was awesome! Like the other reviewers I also increased the cinnamon to 1T. This was super easy to make and because I have a child who is allergic to nuts I was so pleased to find such a delicious nut-free coffee cake! I baked mine in a glass pie plate because I don't have a square pan. It came out perfect!
