  1. This cake was fabulous. I've made it twice this week with rave reviews. I did make a few additions that I think really added to the cake (and fat content). I toasted about half a cup of coconut with the pecans. I did the milk-and-lemon-juice trick instead of buttermilk, since I never have it around (1/2 Tbls lemon juice + 1/2 cup lowfat milk). Instead of making a glaze for the top, I made a crumb topping with 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup whole wheat flour, 1/4 cup butter, and 1/2 cup oats. Thanks for posting, this will be in the regular rotation of "desserts I bring to people's houses."
     
  2. This coffee cake is simple, moist and flavorful. Can't ask for much more than that! Thanks for sharing.

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
