A nice coffee cake recipe which is definitely better warmed with a cup of coffee. Warming it just brings out the flavors and keeps it a nice moist consistency. I also feel upping the nutmeg and cinnamon is a must. For me I used it also in the topping mix so the flavors spread throughout. Thanks for sharing a great recipe. -
Oh yum! We all really enjoyed this wonderful pan bread. The crumb topping was a very nice tough, and I liked the ideas of enjoying the leftovers in the morning with a nice cup of hot chocolate. Thanks for sharing your recipe, KAS in MN. This is a keeper of a recipe that I know I'll make over and over again. -
We love this bread/cake because I bake it in a flat type cake pan. Always popular with our family but suggest you use at least 1/2 butter for better flavor and keeping qualities. Thanks for the submission - highly recommend. -
LOVE IT! I have looked high and low for this recipe. It takes me back to grade school. My husband and the rest of the family can't get enough! -
Here's a great bread, & we really liked the crumbly topping on it! The entire loaf was gone in less than 14 hours! I liked it dunked in my breakfast hot chocolate, but it was also very nice at lunch with a homemade orange butter spread! Thanks for a very tasty bread ~ Your recipe's a keeper!
