Because of the coffee ingredient, I didn't make this for here at home for rather for my other half to take to work & share, & from the reports I got several hours ago, it was a big hit (& devoured in no time at all by the 8 people in the office) ~ The great combo of coffee, coconut & cinnamon was mentioned several times, & I did take KITTENCAL's tip & included some cinnamon in the cake batter! And apparently it's a recipe that I'll be making again from time to time! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Zaar Stars recipe tag]

Mine didn't look like the photo but was super moist with crunch on top and a dark coffee colour and flavour - I am taking the last bit to work for my buddies there to try as I loved it - thanks so much !!

Bevy Tag This as simple to make as I had everything on hand. My whole fmily was here to taste test and they all gave it 5+ stars. I used a gourmet blend carmel coffee strong brew for the coffee flavoring. OH YEA it gave it a bit of a hitch but yummy. I can see using several flavors for this recipe and plan to do so. Thank you for a keeper.

This coffee cake is divine! I had no problem tasting the coffee within the cake itself...I used a Sumatran brewed coffee from my morning pot. It is not overpowering but a nice background to this moist cake with a crunchy & nutty topping (that stays on the cake!). Susan~ this cake is super-duper! Will be making this often.
