I found the dough to be a bit too dry. I might try it again and add a glaze over top. The dough's flavor was good and I made the chocolate filling which was also good. Just a bit too dry for my taste!

i use this recipe in my advanced foods class. it is one that we can actually prepare in 55 minutes and then bake. My students love it!

WE love these recipes... i usually make a double batch. our favorite filling is the fruity cream cheese one.

Does this recipe freeze once it's completed? My mother always makes a coffee cake for Christmas morning, but freezes it ahead of time to cut back on chaos, and I'm looking for a recipe that will work the same way.
