This is the recipe I use as well! I add a couple teaspoons of cinnamon to the topping, but it's delicious either way!

Wonderfully moist coffee cake, Kim. The ingredient list shows sugar and pecans, but the directions say brown sugar for the topping, so that is what I used. Thanks for posting this delightful cake.

This is an excellent coffee cake recipe! I prepared it in a 10" spring form pan...it did require about 10 more minutes baking time this way, but the presentation was so well worth it! Our whole family enjoyed this special treat! Great with a nice hot cup of coffee!
