Walnut Streusel Coffee Cake
I love this cake from my Aunt Suzie—especially the nice moist texture and sweet surprise of the brown sugar-nut mixture inside. It's decadent with a cup of joe.—Michelle Eder, Grand Rapids, Michigan

awesome coffee cake. was a little more work than some recipes but well worth the effort.
I was really disappointed in this cake. In the picture it looks so good and the ingredients were so what easy to put together. But the cake was dry. Maybe somewhere along the way I missed something..over mixed or let it cook to long. I will be trying it again!!!
There were many steps in this recipe and you dirtied several bowl. The cake was moist but the taste was average. It looked great but I probably will not make it again. There are better coffee cakes .
My mom made the same exact coffee cake when I was growing up. I loved this too !!!
This is a very moist and delicious coffee cake. I did not have walnuts, used chopped pecans instead. My husband and I do not eat cake very often, he loved this and had it every day until gone. Great recipe.
I gave this 3 stars because the streusel layer was actually too thick, and caused my cake to partially separate when removing from the pan. Next time I will use less ingredients in the streusel layer, and perhaps the nuts should be listed as finely chopped. Simply chopping the nuts causes the streusel layer to be too chunky and not stick to the cake itself. The flavor of this cake is good, however.
This coffee cake is delicious! I halved the recipe and baked it in a 8 in. square pan at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes and it turned out perfect! Very moist and fluffy! Just a side note: next time I'm going to make a little more streusel for the ribbon in the middle as half of the amount only made spots instead of an actual ribbon in the cake. I will be making this again!!
I am still in the process of this cooking. It is a chore making this but I am sure going to be well worth the time and efford. I will come back and let you know!!!
