This is an excellent tasting cake. The batter is very stiff, that is fine. However the "filling" is simply a couple of dry sugar dumped on. Since it is so dry, it pulls moisture from the cake. The ultimate method is the driest coffee cake I've produced in six decades. There has to be an error within the recipe, as I have not seen coffee cake filling that's just dry sugar. Some butter or something like that is actually necessary.
We are sorry to listen to this well-loved recipe did not exercise for you personally, Apple. As the filling is "dry" ingredients, the brown sugar contains moisture that can help to create the stunning, gooey filling the thing is within the picture. The method of swirling the filling in to the cake batter is really a key one, because it helps you to distribute the filling. A dry cake may also frequently be the effect of a heavily measured cup of flour. We discover this is actually simple to do when calculating flour by volume and advise a fluff and sprinkle method as opposed to a dip and scoop to obtain a relatively lighter cup of flour. You can observe much more about this by searching our website for "How you can measure flour". Hope this can help to obtain a as pleasing result! Mollie@KAF

It is good. The wedding cake is really a beautiful fluffy texture. Honestly though I will not allow it to be again without modifying the sugar amount. It's far too sweet. And That I promise I am not just one of individuals anti-sugar moms. I bake constantly and I am not scared of utilizing sugar. It is simply it's over-powering within this recipe. Even my children using the giant sweet teeth thought the sweetness was overboard. Basically allow it to be again I'd recommend reducing the white-colored sugar within the crumb topping. A minimum of I'd begin with that.
Wonderful cake. We baked the wo with my daughter for any trip on Hwy 1 California coast the wedding cake was perfect fresh also it was the " must for the morning coffee. The next time we'll make more it had been gone in 2 days. I recoment it. thanks

It was great, however i accept another posters there was way too much flour within the streusel topping. I favor a streusel that kind of caramelized and crispy. Baked out of the box, the streusel was completely loose and powdery--looked pretty very similar after it had been baked because it did before, also it designed a mess when offered. Very tasty, though.

I have to first say, there should a guide that no-one can rate or review a recipe unless of course they provided it as being written and without substituting ingredients. I recieve so frustrated with individuals altering a recipe after which rating it under-componen after. That vent being stated. This is actually the best coffee cake recipe I have ever attempted. I increased on box-mix streusel coffee cakes rather than thought I possibly could make one on your own that even came close, however this is more preferable! Not to mention, does not contain all individuals frightening preservatives :) If you are searching for the similar box-mix like taste, I recommend this recipe! Labor intensive, yeah, but worth the effort!

This coffeecake has good cinnamon flavor. I overlooked the cacao powder within the filling. I made use of coconut sugar rather from the granulated and work lower to at least one cup for that cake portion, 1/2 cup for that streusel. I am unsure basically over mixed the wedding cake when adding the flour and milk/sour cream mixture or maybe the coconut sugar had something related to making the wedding cake moist but pretty dense. I believe mixing the wedding cake portion by hands using the dough whisk is needed too rather of utilizing my mixer. Maybe I should not have cut the quantity of coconut sugar whatsoever? I too, thought the topping would be a bit dry in my taste. I'll get this to again but the next time cut the streusel in two and increase the butter. I believe with a little more tweaking, this can have better results the next time.
Baking with coconut sugar can establish particularly different textural results. It has a tendency to turn baked goods a brownish color, and it could make a lumpy texture due to its moisture content. It is commonly a little less sweet than other sorts of sugar, and baked goods created using it take a shorter period to bake completely through (check for doneness early and frequently). You might want to try causeing this to be recipe once with granulated sugar to find out if you want the outcomes. Best of luck! Kye@KAF

This is actually the best streusel coffee cake I have ever endured within my existence. It is going within my permanent recipe file! Husband loved it, too. The wedding cake is extremely moist, the filling includes a enjoyable dark color because of the small little bit of cacao powder, and also the topping adds another nice layer of texture. Made just as written, also it arrived on the scene perfectly!
Linda from San antonio
Great. Used to do use 1/2 white-colored wheat grains flour. I believe the next time I'll use less flour within the streusel since just a little grainy and there exists a inclination to love a less dry streusel. May split the sugar 50/50 brownish and white-colored and find out what goes on.
Louise from Salt Lake City
I additionally found this to become labor-intensive--not well worth the effort. Also---how can you get "streusel" using 1 1/4 c sugar, 1 1/2 c flour, and just 6 T. melted butter? I were left with a dry, powdery topping. I additionally were left with the filling at the base--could this be to thin air (4500')?
Louise, our prime-altitude could absolutely function as the offender! Essentially the coffee cake batter is not sufficiently strong to carry up all the topping since the leavening representative is over-active. Reduce the baking powder--ideally by about 10 %--which should have the desired effect. Using extra-large eggs within the batter would also provide more structure. I really hope this can help and you provide another chance! Bryanna@KAF
I discovered this to become bland. The streusel did not bake up right, it had been still floury and also the cake was boring. What a total waste of ingredients and time.
