    Texture, flavors and warm cake smells...delicious! Had a brunch party and made this recipe 3 times...one per recipe with pecans, one per recipe but with pistachios and the 3rd time, with crushed macademia nuts. All versions were enjoyed by all. I encourage anyone who enjoys foods typically served for brunch, try this one. Gale Gand's contribution is terrific!

    I've done this a couple of times and always get rave reviews. I bake it in muffin cups and have added blueberries to mix it up a little. Wonderful for Sunday brunch.

    I might be in the minority here but I thought the cake part was nice, however the topping is just too much and far too sweet. Maybe it's because I'm not American and the coffee cake tradition is not something I'm familiar with. I just seemed to have oodles of this overly-sweet crunchy stuff on top that fell everywhere.

    I baked this for my small town coffee shop, and customers loved it. And so do I!

    I made this in a stoneware 9x9 pan for work. Rave reviews - moist cake with great texture. Topping not too sweet and the pecans toasted with baking. Definately will be my "go to" coffee cake.

    Really delicious. I substituted low-fat buttermilk for the sour cream and used regular raisins addding an additional 1/4 cup - a full cup would also work. I baked it in a springform pan it came out perfect. A keeper!

    This coffee cake is so moist and yummy. The pecan topping is awesome! I baked it in a tube pan and it came out great.

    Made this this morning for breakfast, as it was too cold and rainy to run to the store to satisfy my sweet tooth. The recipe was easy and excellent. The only thing I might change is adding more raisins. When I asked my husband if he liked the raisins (he's generally not crazy about them he said, "I didn't know it had any." The streusel makes a lot, but I used it all and it just enhanced the sweetness and crunchiness.
