Excellent Texture and Taste! - It worked for me as an overnight cake and when I chose to make it, per some reviews, without resting the batter overnight. I have used both Pecans and Walnuts. Either way, it was delish. TWEAKS: I used 4 TABLS. BUTTERMILK POWDER mixed with the dry mixture and the 1 Cup Milk with the wet mixture. It worked perfectly. I also added 1 Tsp. Vanilla. I didn't use the Nutmeg. We don't care for the flavor. This receipe is speciple and a keeper. Thank you Breezermom.

Excellent coffee cake. Light and tender crumb. I didn't refrigerate, simply put together and baked per instructions. A great alternative to sour cream coffee cakes. Breezermom, thanks for the recipe!

This was a very good and easy cake. I think next time I will add some vanilla to the batter!

I hope it did not matter that I did not let it sit overnight but just gave it a couple of hours over lunchtime !! We loved it and the texture of the cake was soft and velvety. We ate it warm with custard.

Moist and crunchy, this is a great overnight breakfast! The tang of the buttermilk meshes well with the nutmeg and cinnamon, and the streusel 'like' topping was wonderful. I followed the directions as written and have tucked this away for future breakfasts. You've made my life a bit easier, especially on a holiday! Thanks for sharing, breezermom.
