    • Reviews

  • “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.”

  • “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.”

  • “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 9×9 pan (buttered and floured prior to baking).Love it!”
