  1. This recipe was a treat to work with. I made the coffee cake for a meeting at work and it was a huge success! Everyone loved it - said it was super-moist and several people requested the recipe! I did make a couple of changes only due to not including nuts due to possible allergies. The recipe calls for 2 cups of chopped pecans - I substituted 1 cup of instant oatmeal and 1 cup of Hershey's cinnamon chips - to go along with the cinnamon theme of the cake. It was great and the recipe is awesome! I want to try one w/ the nuts for home now!! :) Thanks, Kristi!
     
  2. This was absolutely fabulous. I couldn't find instant butterscotch so instead I used vanilla and bananna and used 2 tablespoons of sugar instead of 1/4 cup. I also swirled the sugar mixture throught out the cake. My husband and neighbors loved it. I would definitely make it again. In fact my neighbors want one.
     
  3. Very good. I didn't have the vanilla pudding on hand so I used banana and the butterscoth. It was great. Everyone loved it. Thanks.

I live in waukesha, WI. I do behavioral therapy with autistic children; it is a labor of love but also my career. I like to shop for just about anything, read, watch movies, take long walks, work out, spend time with my daughter, and family. My passions are scrapbooking, cooking, and my daughter. My pet peeves are people who are lazy and people that are rude.
