This recipe is one of the best! It's so easy to put together.

It smells so good as it bakes, and tastes even better!

Sprinkle Topping over batter. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Serve warm.

That looks really yummy! I might try it with tea instead of coffee though. It can be a "tea cake" instead :)

We love coffee cake! It's also very good with Chocolate Chips in it. We put the cocolate chips and the topping in the middle and on top . . . half on top, half in the middle. Mmm!
