This is an absolutely fabulous cake, it's very light. It wasn't difficult to make, or didn't look like it when hubby was doing it...

We all liked this cake; however, the cake was very thin and didn't rise much. Next time I will bake in a smaller pan. Thanks for posting!

This was a very good coffee cake - but It could have more crumb topping. The cream cheese did give it a nice flavor and very moist texture.
