Had to add more milk to make the batter workable about 1/4 cup-- I agree with other reviewers that the batter was a little thick. However this did the trick and it turned out great. This cake has w wonderful flavor with the cinnamon and nutmeg. It turned out moist and buttery and has a lovely texture. Will definitely make again with the addition of a small amount of milk-- just enough to make the dough spreadable in the pan. Otherwise a great recipe.

This cake produces better results if the butter and sugar is thoroughly creamed together. Then add egg (large one) and beat very well. Add milk and dry ingredients alternating but mix gently. See if you find this better.

Nice coffee cake BUT I agree with another reviewer who said the batter was too thick. It was like bread dough! So I doubled the milk. Also tried it with buttermilk and got great results.

UPDATED REVIEW on June 16th,2011: I ate a piece of the coffee cake this morning and I really hate to say this, it wasn't nearly as moist as it was about 45 minutes after it was taken out of the oven yesterday.I do suggest that you make and eat it on the same day.I made this recipe on 6/15/2011 for the Baked Goods Event in the Food Photo Forum.After mixing the batter, I found it to be a little on the stiff side so just a bit more milk was added.Then procceded with the rest of the recipe.I thought 40 minutes seemed like a long time for this to bake,so I tried it at 30 minutes and it was just perfect. Thanks for posting and, " Keep Smiling :) "

I am giving this recipe 5 stars, because everything about it is excellent, but for my own taste, I prefer less nutmeg. I am a big fan of coffee cake and have tried many. This one will not disappoint!
