Worthless Recipe

I was excited to try this recipe and made it Christmas morning for my family. Unfortunately, it was a waste of time. The recipe says to cook it for 45 min., but I cooked it for about an hour and it still never cooked all the way inside, and meanwhile, the edges were about to burn. We still tried to eat it because I did all that work, but it tasted very bland and the cake and sweet roll combination didn't seem to taste good together. There are sooo many better coffee cake recipes than this one, don't bother with this one.




Does Seattle know about this?

A recipe for disaster. Not of enough good coffee in the world to save this overly dry and sweet mess.




The rolls in the cake had very little flavor

it was like a pocket of flavor in random spots and then -nothing. I thought this was a terrible rendidtion of coffee cake bread pudding.




decadent!!

This was way too involved to justify the result. Next time, I'm just going to make bread pudding in the individual cups and call it a day.




great

this had a definate pudding texture. None of like this. It was pretty time consuming, too. I thought the idea was to create quicked ways to do things.




GREAT

The "shortcut" proved to be the long way around this time. Tasted like soso coffee cake in a cup.

This is probably going to be a new holiday tradition - it is great, easy to make - and lasts for a few days after it's made.

I made this per the recipe the first time and it was ok - I think leaving it sit overnight was definitely helpful. Enough of my co-workers liked it, but I felt there was something missing. I went back to the recipe and made some modifications and got much better reviews the next time I made it and now this is one of my go-to's when I need to bring something yummy in for coffee break at work. I don't use the instant espresso, but make my own. (luckily I have an espresso maker) I also whip up a little extra of the cinnamon/sugar mix to toss on the bottom of the pan with some chopped pecans before I start the roll-batter mix. I also throw in chopped pecans at the middle layer with the cinnamon/sugar mix. Much, much better! I think the "pudding" texture that everyone seems to dislike is what makes this a big hit. No one likes a dried out old crumb coffee cake, but a moister version of it is much more palatable.




Terrible

This wasn't good at all. Especially with those hawaii rolls. Terrible recipe.




Pretty bad

Some of the directions don't make a lot of sense but in any case the taste was pretty bad.
