So good! This is in my husband's top 5 favorite things I've ever made. I've made this twice and modified the batter a bit the second time. Like another reviewer, I had difficulties spreading the batter due to thickness so I used 1/2 cup of milk the second time to make the batter more manageable.Reply

An instant favorite at our home! DH can't stop talking about how much he loves this particular coffeecake. Using a 13x9-inch pan, half the batter just barely covered the bottom of the pan, and I had to play with the top half for coverage. The topping covered almost all of the coffeecake. So next time, I might increase the batter and the topping mixture to make it easier on me. (DH would be upset if I made a smaller coffeecake instead!) Made for Spring Photo Tag.Reply
