This is amazing, and easy. Why do I keep buying coffee cake at the cafes when I could just make it cheaply at home? I made this over Thanksgiving when we had guests (so I wouldn't have to wake up early and make breakfast). I used 1 lb of fresh cranberries instead of canned and it worked great! The tart pops were delicious. Will make again and again.

Wow. It's fabulous! I had to change a few ingredients (I know...doesn't anyone make it like the recipe is written?) :) I can't have sour cream, so I used apple sauce instead. I also used vanilla instead of almond extract. I also used cake flour instead of regular flour. I can't believe how good it is! My husband loves it too. Thanks for this awesome new dessert!
