Very good coffee cake. The crunchy part on the top is a real highlight! It seemed to take forever to mix in all of the ingredients. My arm was exhausted, but I had a feeling that it would be worth it, and it was. The instructions for swirling the batter with up and down motions at the end seemed very odd and I could not imagine what it would do, but the end result was excellent -- in appearance and taste.
