In reply to Kay.

Kay,
This recipe was taken from a friend’s cookbook which had been tested multiple times by many different people in order to ensure the entire book could be published. I’ve also made it multiple times myself using all of the ingredient measurements exactly as stated and haven’t had anything but good results.
I’m sorry that you were disappointed and didn’t have the same experience.

So disappointed. Just wasted 1 1/2 sticks of butter adding to the streusel. 3/4 melted butter is way too much.

Excellent. Reminds me of the coffee cakes I used to buy as a kid.

I have made it twice. It is really good. Taste like the Drakes coffee cakes. Moist. The nutmeg helps. I had to bake it the full 40 minutes.( My oven is older and not as hot anymore)

In reply to Emily Ross. I followed the recipe exactly. It tasted just “ok”. Nothing great about it. I have another recipe that is much better. The streusel crumble was very dry so too much flour. Def taste the flour.

I used a 8×8 pan. Recipe was easy to follow, I sprinkled some cinnamon on top before baking. Crumb topping was perfect, coffee cake delicious! Recipe is a keeper, thank you for sharing.

In reply to Debbie. Debbie, you read my mind because that is exactly what I would have suggested you do when using a bundt pan to make this recipe. Place half the topping in the bottom of the pan, then top with 1/3 to less than half the batter. Cover with the remaining cinnamon streusel and then remaining batter. Because the pan is larger towards the top, you want to make sure you have enough batter to cover the streusel for that last layer if that makes sense.
