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.

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.

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 ....:)
