This was so yummy! And I love the "overnight" part. I added a teaspoon of almond extract and followed another reviewer and used half whole wheat pastry flour and half applesauce for the butter. I added 1/2 cup of frozen cranberries to half the batter and really liked that (I think fresh blueberries would be great too). We don't like things too sweet, so I cut out a 1/4 cup of the sugar from the cake. It was still sweet, but in a good way. I do think I will cut a couple more tablespoons out of the topping next time though. We really loved this, especially the convenience and the topping! -
I followed this recipe almost to the t, with one exception: the mix method. I creamed my unmelted butter with my sugars then added my eggs one at a time and then added my buttermilk. I whisked my dry ingredients together in another bowl then added then into my wet ingredients. The resulting cake was incredibly soft, light and fluffy. It was a smashing success. I didn't think it was overly sweet but I had it with strong black coffee. Super convenient when you've got guests and I love that you can make fresh baked coffee cake evenwith a hangover. -
Great recipe! I used the plain yogurt instead of the buttermilk and it was perfect. I did use the higher amount of sugar for the topping, and think I'll use less next time. Thanks! -

I was not a fan of this cake. I still gave it a 4 because my husband took it to work and the guys there all liked it. It was also very moist which I liked but the flavor was a bit too eggy and bland. It might also be the brown sugar I am using. I am in finland and their brown sugar does taste a little different so that might be the flaw in my recipe. It was super easy to make. Thank you.

This was so good! I made some substitutions to try to make it a little better for you and it still turned out wonderful. I used whole wheat pastry flour, 1/2 the butter called for, and 1/2 applesauce. I also used fat free yogurt and 4 egg whites in place of the eggs. I was running out of brown sugar so, for the cake, I used unrefined cane sugar. For the topping I used 1 cup white sugar mixed with 2 tbsp. molasses. I also used almonds as my nuts. I did put the topping on right before I baked it, but it sunk deep into the cake. Not the prettiest coffee cake I've ever made, but one of the tastiest. Thanks for a treat the kids made for their dad who is recovering from surgery!

I live in Sugar Land, Texas. I love to try new recipes. My husband jokes that if he likes something, I never make it again for 6 months! My children are very picky, but do have their favorites that I try to include in our menu more often than every 6 months.
