Make-Ahead Coffee Cake
This is a wonderful time-saver because it's assembled the night before. My kids think the nutty topping, sweet glaze and from-scratch cake make it the ultimate treat. —Cindy Harris, San Antonio, Texas

This is a delicious and moist coffee cake. The topping is the best! I didn't add the nutmeg in the cake. We don't like nutmeg. I will make it again!
This was good, but I didn't care for the rise that I got out of the coffeecake and both my husband and I thought there was a bit too much sugar topping on it. I would make again but it needs some tweaking.
Made this for Christmas morning this year, since I didn't have any nutmeg I used allspice. I made the toppings with walnuts. This has now became our favorite coffee cake. It was a huge hit with everyone. By far the best we've tasted and I've been making coffe cakes for our Christmas mornings for the past 6 years, trying a different one every year because I couldn't find one that everyone liked till now.
Got it in the fridge to bake in the morning, I added cinnamon to the batter.... can't wait to taste it! Wondering if it could be baked immediately after making, is the overnight refrigeration necessary??
1 use less nutmeg in batter 2 only use 1/2 cup brown sugar in topping—too sweet 3 powdered sugar can also be reduced Overall an easy overnight to make
Very good and easy to make. Since we love cinnamon I added some to the batter and more to the topping. It was very moist and crunchy on top. There was no problem with rising but I used a new box of baking soda. Will make again.
Wonderful cake. I don't like nutmeg, so I eliminated it in the cake
Great
Loved being able to put this together the night before. It was delicious and the nutmeg made it taste like Christmas. It was a big hit on Christmas morning. Everyone loved it!
Very moist and good coffee cake. Have made it when we have company and everyone thought it was yummy!
