I thought this was a delicious coffee cake. I chose it because I had all the ingredients and needed to make one for church tomorrow. I had one problem tho....the batter came out very thick and did not seem like enough to fill my bundt pan to the top when baking....so I put the whole recipe of batter as the bottom layer, placed the brown sugar mixture on top and then made up a 2nd batch of batter for the 2nd layer. So for my liking, I found that I needed to double the cake batter part so it would fill the 10" bundt pan completely when baked. I did find that the 50 minutes baking time was still fine for the doubled batch. It was moist and flavorful and perfect for the coffee hour tomorrow.
