Super easy and very good. Everyone at work loved it. I could actually reduce the sugar in the filling and it would still be great. I used a 9" round cake pan, and it was a little difficult to spread the batter all the way to the edges, but it still worked!

I made this to be diabetic usable and I reduced the amount of the recipe by half. The butter in the cake was replaced with applesauce and used all Splenda instead of the ask for mix of sugar and Splenda. For the topping I used Splenda Brown Sugar blend. It might be heavier that it would have been otherwise but the changes make it possible for me to enjoy this and enjoy it I did. Wonderful taste to the cake and the cinnamon and walnuts are a true treat. I know that I'll be making this again.

I'm happy to be your first reviewer! This was a delicious coffee cake and easy to mix up. The walnuts add a nice flavor, especially since it is in the middle layer, too. We enjoyed the amount as given, but one could double the topping if he wants more of a crumb cake. Roxygirl
