Love this cake!!! Turned out moist and delicious. Nobody could tell it was a healthier version.

Doubled the recipe and made in 10x13 baking dish. Took to a brunch and everyone liked it. Had some left over (because there was so much food), and found that the cake part was a little dry the next day. Will have to figure out how to make a slight change if I think I might leftovers next time.

This was a very easy recipe. I did not have buttermilk so I made my own with milk and lemon juice. Also did not have egg substitute. So just used 1 egg in replacement each time. But this turned out to be a very nice cake. Not as dry as a normal coffee cake. So that's why I liked it so well. I also mixed blackberries and raspberries because I ran out of the raspberries. But as you can tell a very flexible recipe. yumm

You could just make the bottom and part put fresh strawberries on top and whipped cream. I have a shortcake texture. Very good

This was delicious and easy to make. It was a little lighter and fluffier than I expected, but still worth it. Highly recommended.

nothings working

you can use the buttermilk, check the lable on the milk carton. It's good to use when baking sweets and trying to watch your weight. You will find alot of low cal. cookbook use buttermilk in sweets. They should rename this milk product there is no butter in it.

I plan on trying this as soon as my new raspberry plants produce. I also will use a sugar substitute in place of sugar and I think that would cut the carbs. Instead of buttermilk I will use 1/2 c. skim milk with a tsp of vinegar in it. Will see if that works. Wonder about whole wheat flour too?

Christine -- just in case you check in to see who's rating your recipe, I wanted you to know that it sounds wonderful and I do plan to make it. Also, I'm originally from Tamaqua. Thanks for the recipe.

As soon as I saw this, I had to make it! I used Splenda instead of sugar and it turned out soooo delicious! Will definitely make again!
