This was a huge hit at my church for fellowship!
I made it in a 15x10 pan because I needed 32 pieces, baked in 45 minutes.
I used 1/2 c butter and 1/2 c applesauce as recommended. Also used nonfat vanilla yogurt & sour cream combination, 1 tbsp vanilla and brown sugar with no nuts in topping.
Spread 1/2 batter in pan sprinkle with 1/2 topping, spread remaining 1/2 and sprinkle again.
Looked and tasted fantastic!
Thanks for the recipe.
I made this as a half-batch and baked in a loaf pan for about 35 min. I used the butter/applesauce option and also traded the sour cream for vanilla yogurt and used the 1/2 white 1/2 brown sugar combo. I really liked the way this turned out--really good flavor and a moist spongy texture. I'm not a fan of crumbly dry coffee cake so I will keep making it this way. Next time I think I'll add a drizzled icing. Thanks for all of the suggestions--you all are helping me become a better baker!
this is the one iv'e been searching for. i used 1 cup white and 1 cup brown sugar and brown sugar for the topping sustituted oats for 1/2 of the nuts and pecans instead of walnuts. the only thing i will do differently next time is to mix a little melted butter into topping to make it more of a struesel.
Great recipe. My 12 year old son baked this for our county fair last week and won first place. Thank you for a GREAT recipe.
A very basic coffee cake recipe--handy because I usually have all the ingredients on hand. Nice for a potluck or brunch.
Wow what a cake!! It baked up so tall and was very impressive! I had a huge tub of lowfat sour cream and needed to use it up - this was the perfect recipe. The only change I made was to use pecans instead of walnuts (just my personal preference). I will definitely be making this again. Thanks for the recipe!
This cake is a hit with my family. I substitute brown sugar for the white in the nut mixture and like the flavor better.
Since I was young my mother prepared coffee cake for our traditional Christmas breakfast. She now has alzhimer's and does not know the recipe. I found this recipe and decided to use it to pass on the Christmas Coffee cake tradition. It was met with rave reviews and I was told that it was better than my mom's (shhh don't tell). It was incredible!
I made this great recipe even better by adding cream cheese. First I just did a half batch and replaced half the sugar with brown sugar. I omitted the nuts and mixed the cinnamon with brown sugar instead of white. Before putting the cinnamon sugar on top I creamed 1/4 cup cream cheese with a teaspoon sugar and a splash of milk. I dropped it in blobs all over the top of the cake and used a knife to swirl it around. Then I put on the rest of the cinnamon sugar and topped it with a little extra brown sugar. I used an 8x8 pan and baked it for 35 minutes. Delicious!
My family loves coffee cake so I've been trying different coffee cakes. This one was pretty good. It was a little dry but we still enjoyed it!I didn't add all the cinnamon sugar mixture I thought it would be overwhelming. But I was wrong it needs it. So next time I will use it all. I also used light sour cream to reduce calories. This is a great recipe thank you Jackie for sharing!
