I made this for Sunday morning breakfast. Wow!!! What a wonderful treat for breakfast. I followed the recipe but for some reason I had in my mind that is was an 8 X 8 pan, oops!!! Well needless to say it wasn't done in the time specified and had to bake longer, the topping got a little too browned. It still tasted wonderful and would definitely make this again. Thanks Kit for another great recipe.

This is a very good coffee cake,very tasty!I toasted the pecans first which really brings out their flavour.I also added vanilla to the cake batter.I am not a big fan of raisins so I left those out.But I did have dried blueberries that I have been wanting to use so I added those instead of the raisins.Wow,it was perfect!I used a 9 x 9 pan like the recipe said but I think I may use a tube pan next time.It took a long time for the middle of the cake to cook in a square pan,about 60 minutes.By this time the corners were getting quite brown.
