  1. after reading the other comments that this cake was a little dry, i tried adding 1/2 a small box of instant pudding. it was great, and very moist, next i'm going to try a different flavor of pudding.
     
  2. Can't imagine this cake being dry because mine is always very moist. It is a very good basic recipe and I have used full fat yoghurt rather than sour cream with excellent results. Also have made it in a loaf pan (our preference) and baked for approx. 1 hr. Thanks for a reliable and easily made coffee cake.
     
  3. Wonderful coffee cake; no issues with being dry. Made as directed, but I cut down the amounts of topping sugars just a bit. This is one of those cakes that just gets better and better. I put it into a 9x9 pan (buttered and floured prior to baking). Love it!
