Very good easy cake. I made with a few minor changes. After reading reviews I used a 9 x 13 pan which baked perfectly in 35 minutes. To the batter I added 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. I reserved 1 cup of crumbs to which I added 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. I used approximately 2 cups of fresh blackberries. Everyone loved it and a great cake to use up the never-ending blackberry supply!
This batter needs to be kept to a thickness of 1/2 inch in the pan prior to adding the fruit of choice and crumbs on top. You will have difficulty with it baking completely if the batter is any thicker. I use an oblong cookie sheet with an edge or jelly roll pan.
We loved this. Based on other reviews I used a 9x13 pan and then the cooking time was right on. Only slight problem with that is that I think it needs more blackberries when you use a larger pan. Mine were too spread out. Oh well it was still delicious. Thanks!
This is a very good coffee cake. I used a 9 x 13 inch pan and baked it about 45 minutes. I like the fact that the ingredients are simple and usually on hand. I'll be making this again and experimenting with using different fruits and jams.
This cake was quite good. I used a 9 inch round cake pan and used apricot jam on top instead of the fruit called for. It took much longer for the cake to cook (at least 50 min in total) which may have been because of my substitution of the round pan. Unfortunately because it took so much longer to cook my company had to leave before the cake was even out of the oven! I will try this again though with a square pan. It is really wonderful with the apricots.
EVEN though I made so changes..MY family has never eaten a whole cake at my house...Here is a the changes that I made... Because I didnt have regular flour and baking pwder I thought to myslef hmmmmmm I wonder how will self rising flour turn(since it already has a baking powder mix in it)SO instead of the flour and baking pwder I just used the 2 cup selfrising flour...And of course no more salt since its already salted!!!!!!..SO no fruits for my cake.WHAT I did instead is sprinkle alot of nesltequick strawberry pwder on top of the cake for decoration and a delicious sugary taste mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!PLease try it and goodluck!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the best cake ever! Its my first time baking a cake...And this is so easy! I used self raising flour like one of the reviewer said...And its really delicious! If you want plain sponge cake...Just omit the fruits and crumbs
My husband really enjoyed this coffee cake. I increased the berries to 2 cups and used a combination of blackberries and blueberries. I baked it in an 8x11.5 glass pan and cooked it for an hour.
Excellent! This is a five star recipe! I made it for a brunch and it worked great. You could add more berries if you wanted though.
Well I m sorry to say that this one was a disappointment not because of the flavor but because this produced the flattest coffee cake I have ever seen. The recipe calls for a 9 square pan but the submitter states in her review that she uses a jelly roll pan. That s a huge difference. I made half this recipe using an 8 1/2 spring form pan which is almost exactly half the size of a 9x13 which most reviewers ended up using. The flavor was good but the appearance was really lacking. Four stars for flavor two stars for appearance = three stars.
