What caught my eye on this recipe was the suggestion of subbing blueberries for the raspberries (which I did and added fresh chopped strawberries.) As with most cooks, I like to experiment with new recipes. I changed only two ingredience. I used 1/2 cup light sour cream instead of the milk and I used brown sugar for the streusel topping instead of white sugar. Wow, with the tang of the lemon and sour cream and the sweetness of the fruit and streusel topping, a great sunday morning treat! Thanks for the experience! -
This coffee cake tasted great. I left out the almond extract as I really dislike that flavor, but it was wonderful all the same. Had a great texture. I added lemon extract to the topping for extra lemony taste. Next time I have to try Netty's suggestion of sour cream. That sounds right up my alley! -
This is okay. Not too sweet, although some of the guests liked it not too sweet.
