Very tasty coffee cake, simple to make and I always have these ingredients on hand. I used AP flour and was happy with the texture of the cake. I will be making this over and over. I am thinking of adding some fruit to the streusel next time - chopped apple or blueberries...imagine the possibilities.

The cookbook calls for 3/4 cup of brown sugar in the streusel, which I did and it came out fine. Great homemade taste. Going to freeze cake and serve in a week for brunch.

This coffee cake was just what I was looking for! super easy to make, after reading all the reviews, i did buy cake flour, but I too do not like bleached flour. found King Arthur Unbleached cake flour, my new go to! Moist and very tasty, might make a little extra topping other than that no changes at all.

So simple to make when I'm half asleep. Yummy when warm, but also good when it is room temp.

This is a lovely light and moist cake, perfect with a cup of tea. I adjusted the recipe quantity to 3/4 of the mixture (usng 3 medium eggs as I often find Ina's recipes to yield just too much and I baked it in an 8" square tin. It cooked perfectly. I did add a little freshly grated nutmeg to the streusel as well, as being English, we often use nutmeg alongside cinnamon. I will definitely make this recipe again, and have noted all my conversions from American measures to metric to be able to do so easily.

Ina Garten has done it again, I just love her laid back easy way of baking and this Coffee cake is the best, everyone who had a slice has asked for the recipe. This is a perfect cake to enjoy with a cup of coffee and friends.

I read everyone's review and I noticed a common theme: not enough flavor. I did what most suggest and used a tablespoon of extract. I used vanilla nut extract instead of regular vanilla. It gives it that extra something. My family is a huge fan of cinnamon so I mixed about 1/4 cup into the sugar (didn't really measured it, just made it like I would cinnamon sugar for toast. I also added a few sprinkles of nutmeg and just one sprinkle of allspice. The cake is still cooking so I don't know what the cooked product will taste like but if it is any indication to how the batter tasted OMG it will be awesome. (yes I licked the bowl clean!!

The cake is delicious. I would also add something to make it more moisture, but it's good as it is with tea or coffee. I'm going to bake it again and again, maybe modifying the original recipe with some different ingredients. This time I used half source cream and half plain unsweetened Activia yogurt and it worked out for reducing calories and for giving it a bit of unique flavour from the yogurt. Thanks for the recipe!

this cake is AMAZING, its not dry at all. I bake it for the minimum time instructed. I even added a touch of cocunut extract and thats a nice touch. Its a little time consuming but easy and well worth the effort. I also used regular flour and it still turned out great. This is a cake my husband asks for regularly!
