I don't know if my original review of this cake went through or not, so I'll post again. I looove this coffee cake, and I was so upset when I lost my home and gardens book with this in it. Thank you Barb for posting it! I bring it to brunches, parties, and friends houses. It's really easy, and always delights everyone. I tend to make a few changes: I leave out the nuts most of the time. I use a packet or two of instant coffee instead of measuring (I have packets on hand, not a jar of the stuff). I normally use pancake mix instead of biscuit, not sure if there's a difference, but I think it tastes better. Also, be careful not to stir it too much, or you will mix in your swirl. The swirl makes this cake, once or twice through is enough. Delicious!
