Coffee Cake Chicago
"This is a very good coffee cake. I have often been asked for the recipe since it is liked by all. Sometimes I also add a glaze to the top to make it extra pretty, but it really doesn't need it. The recipe is from our local newspaper."

I liked it okay, but it didn't have the zingy cinnamon taste throughout that I was hoping for. -
This is so good! I halved the recipe and baked it in an 8 x 8 pan. When it was cool, I drizzled it with a bit of glaze. Thanks so much. -
This was very tasty. For some reason mine did not rise that well, but the flavor was still very good. -
WA-HOO! FANTASTIC coffeecake recipe! Thank you so much for sharing this. The cake part was extremely moist and yummy - not dry and full of big air holes like lots of coffeecakes (ick) I did double the streusel topping - just because I'm sinful like that! -
Very good and easy to make. My Boyfriend loved it and he hadn't had coffee cake for many years. We'll be making this again!

I also have an eBay business which is a fun hobby that makes a little extra money! My interest in cooking focuses on making healthy dishes that are more satisfying than the higher fat and higher sugar versions. If I had a month off with no responsibilities, I would spend it at a luxury spa. <br /> <br /></p>
