    I made this recipe twice now, once following it word for word, and once adding fresh raspberries in the batter and substituting vegetable shortening for butter as I didn't have any shortening. It's exactly what it says in the tin, a lovely, easy to make coffee cake. It's on the dry side, but that's pretty much what coffee cake is supposed to be.

    One word: DRY. I was kinda epecting one of those light and fluffy coffee pastries you buy from the store where they might have custard or cream in the middle. Not this. It was heavy and dry, I know I almost suffocated on the first bite. It tasted fine, and I added coffee powder to the mixture since I made it for my mom who works nights (and works all day caring for her kids). I'm making another with more milk and an extra egg. Hopefully that'll be more moist.

      if it's dry you overcooked it because it comes out very nicely. also don't over mix. The cake should be firm and not overly moist because it's meant to go with coffee.

    I really liked this coffee cake. It was really easy to make. I added 1 tsp. of vanilla extract to it though. The coffee cake tasted better with that vanilla extract.

    @AsianFace: that's baking POWDER not SODA

    The texture of the cake was nice but did anyone find ip that it tasted bitter? I think 1T of baking soda is a bit much.

    There is no coffee in the cake. You have coffee with the cake.

    This is a nice and easy cake, but I am wondering where is the coffee? the name is Cinnamon Coffee Cake but there is no coffee in it.

    Very simple recipe. I, too, used butter instead of vegetable shortening and the cake came out fine. I love brown sugar and incorporated that into the "crumble" bit of the cake. Tastes great. Also added pecans and raisins to the topping for some extra flavor.

    Make it with butter, and use ocean spray craisins, in the topping, and stir a little into the cake itself.
