Made this to bring to church this morning and people were crazy about it! I live in Denver (5280' above sea level), which can sometimes be a struggle to have baked recipes to turn out well. The only thing I did was bake it about 10 minutes longer (until golden on the top and tested done with a toothpick). Excellent recipe!

Goodness, gracious sakes... this came out wonderful! I halved the recipe but used a full egg in the filling. It turned out so light, tender and moist. I was a little worried about the way it was looking as I was assembling it. I worried for nothing. The batter does spread out, filling outthe pan. Thanks for posting. I'll be making this again for sure.

This is the same as #67856. I have made it many times and it is delish. The only change I make is I use one package of cream cheese instead of two. It's just enough to make it the moistest coffeecake the you have ever eaten. I make it in a 9X13 pan.
