I made this coffeecake yesterday, side by side the Pecan Sour Cream Coffee Cake from Cook's Country, and this one was fabulous! Soft, delicious yummy inside with tons of good topping. It was the overall favorite and will definitely be making a reappearance in my house. Oh so good! I used a 6 cup tube pan and divided the recipe by two. <br /><br />The cook's country recipe was also very good, and very different, so it earned a repeat status too :) It has toasted tiny pecan pieces inside, so the cake part was delicious, but the glazes were kinda boring so next time I'm gonna make less batter and top it with another streusel I loved from King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking where the cake part was too wheaty but the streusel was heavenly. Anyway, the recipe that you posted was just perfect as written and needed no adaptations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-70317693352052833622009-02-02T21:15:00.000-06:002009-02-02T21:15:00.000-06:00Goody,You are just filled with good ideas.

I wish someone else were brave enough to try the yogurt/curry cake; I'm still thinking it might not have been a total success.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13183158217378477758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-68238957297176512852009-02-02T20:19:00.000-06:002009-02-02T20:19:00.000-06:00Well, lava cakes are basically under-baked and loo...Well, lava cakes are basically under-baked and look how popular those things are. I tend to bake in the other volcanic style, that is spewing ash. I have to think lava is preferable. <BR/><BR/>If you'd made the cake with yoghurt instead of sour cream you might have been able to pull off that curry thing.<BR/><BR/>I never would have been able to get such a huge cake out of the pan in one piece-it certainly looks beautiful.<BR/><BR/>www.eattheblog.blogspot.comGoodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383404429461423998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-64692421352687201712009-02-02T17:31:00.000-06:002009-02-02T17:31:00.000-06:00Thank you.

I will just have to keep making sour-cream coffee cakes until I get them right!<BR/><BR/>Melinda,<BR/>Ha. Touche! <BR/>Here's what happened--I stuck my thin little knife in the cake, and it didn't come out clean, but the book says that sugar may stick to the knife even when it's done. I examined the knife to see what exactly was clinging to it and decided it looked more sugar-y than batter-y. So it was a mistake of judgment, not a fault of the piercer.<BR/>I removed the duplicate comment but now I'm afraid people will think I took umbrage at something you said.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13183158217378477758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-76906744854045387632009-02-02T16:14:00.000-06:002009-02-02T16:14:00.000-06:00Do you really think I know it all?

I can understand your apprehension about burning it after what happened to the other cake.

It works better than anything else I've used, including a bamboo skewer, oh, she-who-knows-all. Maybe someday I'll take a class on Danish pastry. They're just like croissants, only more so, right? Things like that are always much easier to do after you've made them once. I think I'll sleep until noon next Saturday!<BR/><BR/>ECL and Oriana,<BR/>Why do we do that? It's very annoying. I don't like it when other people do it because it seems like you're then obliged to give them a compliment ("Oh, no, it's not underdone at all--it's just perfect!") The reason I was so concerned about the coffee cake getting overdone is that when I made Rose's wonderful apple sour cream coffee cake last year, there was a thin layer on the bottom that was burned, and I didn't want to repeat that mistake.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13183158217378477758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-86494711912547961102009-02-02T08:11:00.000-06:002009-02-02T08:11:00.000-06:00Marie,I had trepidation about suggesting a bran mu...Marie,<BR/>I had trepidation about suggesting a bran muffin for your get-together for the reactions they may elicit, after all your January gathering is about sharing coffee and something decadent so your coffee cake was a good choice. From here it looks pretty good and I am sure everyone thought so too.<BR/>I too tend to tell my guests if the dish prepared is not quite right and each time I tell myself to keep my thoughts to myself as they would probably not notice.doughadearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107772878761525846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-56078146308718484672009-02-02T04:19:00.001-06:002009-02-02T04:19:00.001-06:00Well, it doesn't look bad, in fact it looks good. ...Well, it doesn't look bad, in fact it looks good. I bet it was delicious.<BR/>That is a lot of cake batter in the bundt pan! My only criticism would be, why do you use a knife to test your cakes? To me, it is a bit too big to test with. A bamboo skewer would be better for testing. (Don't tell me...they don't sell bamboo skewers in fly over land!)<BR/>Jeannette and I made Danish pastries on our day baking course in Bath with Richard Bertinet. They were not so hardy pardy.<BR/>How funny it would have been to make a curry enhanced cake. I would pay to see the look on your guests faces.<BR/>Do you get to sleep in next Saturday?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-46319576938612507562009-02-02T04:19:00.000-06:002009-02-02T04:19:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-41671137603657856952009-02-02T01:47:00.000-06:002009-02-02T01:47:00.000-06:00Hey I made a sour cream coffee cake last night!
