It turned out a dark brown colour, delicious, very soft and fluffy! A great recipe, even for those who like more wholesome ingredients :) I made this yesterday, swapped regular for muscovado sugar (halving the filling & topping portion as recommended by others), and used 1/3 all purpose flour, while using spelt and whole meal flour for the rest.

I love a chocolate cherry combination...

Amazing recipe, so delicious and very very easy. I never knew that coffee cake could be so fluffy and not dry/dense. The addition of the cinnamon sugar really takes it over the top. Thanks for another winning recipe! I just wanted to pop in and say that I made this for a Christmas get-together with friends and it was a HIT!! Amazing recipe, so delicious and very very easy.

I often halve the recipe and put it in a 8x8 square pan - but rather than using 1.5 eggs, I go ahead and use 2 full eggs. Still wonderful and you don't have to deal with figuring out how to halve an egg. I just love this cake and have made it numerous times – it has officially replaced our family recipe.

I made it to take to a friend who had recently had a baby and everyone loved it! It was fun to make, I loved the fluffy batter. The chocolate and cinnamon flavor was super good, but i have plans to make fruit versions. Thanks for the recipe! This cake is AWESOME.

This one was no exception and I don't know why I waited so long. Made it this weekend and it was incredible. I made a few minor adjustments - I was short on chocolate chips and substituted half the amount with toffee bits; used brown sugar in the filling instead of white; doubled the amount of cinnamon, and added a teaspoon or so to the cake batter. This is my new go-to cake. Thank you! I’ve made many many of your recipes and they’re usually fabulous. This one was no exception and I don’t know why I waited so long.

This is going into the permanent rotation. I made it for Yom Kippur, it was perfect. I liked how it was babka-esque, without the yeast dough and fuss. I used low fat sour cream (what I had in the house) to no ill-effects. Wondering how the texture would be affected if you creamed in the whole eggs til the whole thing was light and fluffy. Would save washing a bowl/additional beater. Any thoughts? LOVE! This is going into the permanent rotation. I made it for Yom Kippur, it was perfect.
