The instructions for this recipe are spot on and it's really simple to put together. This cake is not as dense as Entenmann's (which I love) but it is just as tasty. I sifted the flour ingredients, and I forgot to add the pecans to the topping, so I sprinkled them over each layer of the topping. Otherwise I made as directed. The cake took the full 45 minutes to bake and when cooled, I dusted it lightly with confectioners' sugar. Buddha, who is not a big fan of coffee cake, also enjoyed it. Thanks for posting. :)
