Jewish Coffee Cake

"My mother in law made this for her family for many years. My husband just loves it when she served it warm. A little cream over it when it is warm sounds good to me. (There is no vanilla or cake mix in this recipe, if you wonder if I forget it.)"

  1. Wonderful! Make it in the 13x9 pan. It bakes up nice and thick. It's a really satisfying treat!
     
  2. This was good. I made it as directed, and was a tad disappointed that my cinnamon layer in the middle wasn't as full looking as the picture Rita posted, but I did two loaves so I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it. I also notice now that Rita has powdered sugar on top..does this mean she put the whole cinn/sugar combo in the middle layer? Hmmmm. If I make this again, I might try that. Our personal taste is for a crispier crunch from the sugar on top so I'd add less cinnamon next time. When I flipped it out of the loaf pans the cinnamon spilled off the top instead of making a sweet, crusty layer. It's a good recipe and makes a nice textured bread.
     
  3. I am mad on cinnamon so this was the perfect cake for me - it made a huge cake too which is another bonus and also so easy to do so thanks Charlotte J
     
  4. Well, I tagged this recipe for 123 tag... and was up really early this morning, so I thought I would make it to take to work to share. Making coffee cake at 4:00 am is not the best idea- I accidently added the sugar mixture to the whole cake. Ended up stirring it up and poured it in the pan. It was finished after about 40-45 minutes. Took it to work anyway. It tastes like regular cake, just really really sweet. Thanks for sharing. I will have to try it again, but follow the directions next time.
     
  5. I made this cake yesterday for my friends and family, everyone loved it! An amazingly not too soft and not too crumbly texture, just right, and what a soft taste! Thank you for sharing this recipe :-)....next time I would add more cinnamon mixture inside to give it a bit of a bigger line through the middle when its being cut ....:)
