A friend gave me this recipe to make for a breakfast I was hosting. The pan was empty before the breakfast was over! It's one of my most-requested recipes, probably because it's a bit different. -Joanne Hoschette, Paxton, Massachusetts

Very good. Substituted 1/2 of the flour with whole wheat flour. Added nutmeg and used canned pears in pear juice and 1 Gala apple...very good. Definitely a keeper.

This is an absolute family favourite!! I substitute in 1 cup of whole wheat flour to make just a bit more healthy. Extremely moist and very, very yummy!!

I tasted this first when a friend made it for me and I just HAD to have the recipe. It's truly the most delicious coffee cake I've ever had. I think of coffee cakes as somewhat dry and bready. Not this one. My family just attacks this when I make it. So delish!
