My first coffee cake. I agree with the 2 previous reviews - I'd cut back on white sugar even more, and make half the strudel mixture. I was impatient and turned the cake upside down before it was completely cool and part of the cake got stripped. My bad. But it tasted so good I'd definitely make it again!
Bundt Coffee Cake
Becky Luigart-Stayner
If you like coffee cakes, you'll love this recipe. It's a moist, light cake with a surprise middle layer of nuts and cinnamon. Prepare it up to one month ahead, and freeze. Defrost at room temperature 24 hours before serving.
