This is a terrific coffee cake, moist and flavorful. Instead of nutmeg, I used a whole teaspoon of cinnamon. I snuck a little whole wheat flour in there, too, with no problem. After this came out of the oven I brushed it with melted butter, simply because I had some leftover from another baking project. That little swipe of butter over the top gave it a nice pop of flavor. This cake fed a weekend crowd and everyone loved it!
