Excellent! You can't tell the difference between a 'real' coffee cake and this eggless one. My son (allergic to eggs) was in heaven. I only had an 8x8 pan and baked it for 30 minutes and it was perfect. Read More

What a delicious coffee cake! I made it for Easter brunch and it was very well received by both Vegans and Non-Vegans alike. I'm allergic to wheat so I replaced the wheat flour with a white spelt flour which worked great. My thanks to Chris for a great recipe! Read More

Wow. Wow. I made this for my boyfriend who's practically vegan as my first excursion into egg and sour cream replacers. Other than a necessary substitution of raspberries for blueberries I followed the recipe to a T. Fluffy scrumptious and definitely the best cake I've eaten in a long time. My boyfriend horded all of it--I couldn't even give a piece to my neighbors! NOT what you'd expect at all from the lackluster title. Chris post more of those eggless recipes!!!! Read More

I made this one night during a move trying to use up leftover flour fruits etc. I didn't have egg replacer at all so I used 3 tablespoons of cornstarch instead. I also added more water to compensate. I used brown sugar. I didn't use walnuts because I had none and I used plums because that's what had to go! The result was delicious! Thank you! This is definite keeper! Read More

My husband loved this. It took a bit longer to bake than the recipe stated (10 minutes longer is usual in my oven but this took almost 20) because the middle of the cake was not set. It puffed up very nicely around the blueberries on top. I used frozen blueberries because that is what I had on hand. I tossed them in a little flour to keep the juices from discoloring the cake. They worked beautifully. One problem I had was that I couldn't get the topping to form a crumb-like consistency. I think I probably should have added flour to the mixture but I topped the cake before I thought of it. It was still delicious but not quite what I had in mind. The texture and flavor of the cake was very good and because it used no dairy (or very little because the sour cream substitute did have whey as an ingredient -- I used IMO brand) and no eggs my husband can enjoy it without any unpleasant repercussions. He gave it 5 stars I gave it 4 because of the slight difficulties I listed above and because the recipe requires sifting ingredients twice (first the flour then the flour again with the other dry ingredients). I hate sifting so I sifted the flour with the other ingredients once and it still came out plenty good. Read More

Two thumbs way up! Being allergic to dairy I'm limited in what pastries I can have since many seem to contain milk or sour cream etc. But this vegan coffee cake is fabulous! I'm not much of a baker so if I can successfully pull this off anyone should be able to. LOL The dry egg replacer ingredient confused me so what I did was use 2 T ground flax seed & 6 T water (the equivalent of 2 eggs) which worked out just fine. A previous reviewer mentioned adding cinnamon to the batter to enhance that flavor throughout the cake so I'll try that next time. I think this recipe would be fabulous for both vegans & non-vegans. I look forward to trying it with different fruit toppings as well but the blueberries were delicious. Read More

I used regular sour cream and margarine and it was great. I also added a little bit of milk to the batter since mine was a little dry along with some cinnamon to have the entire cake having a cinnamon flavor. I also added brown sugar to the topping since my mixture never resembled the "cornmeal" texture explained. My kids gobbled it up - especially my son with an egg allergy. Will definitely make again!
