SLICE OF Streusel Coffee Cake Pound Cake

As soon as I made this coffee cake, my husband started whining. Pretty much non-stop.  Kind of driving me nuts.  You know what I mean? 

I was hearing….When can I have the cake?? Kim…Can I have some coffee cake yet?  How long do I have to wait??  Ready yet?? I’m going to get some cake nowwww!  Ok???  Nowwww!!! Now? 🙂

Ugh…Just think of that only 20 times over and over…yep, good times! 🙂

So, after wrapping up the photo shoot of the coffee cake, he finally got his wish. Especially after he had his cake, all was good.  Until the next morning.  

I woke up to a note placed next to the remaining coffee cake, which was three quarters left, mind you.  The note read…”If you touch my cake, I will hurt you” with mad emojis surrounding the lettering. 

My husband has a very humorous side but he can also become slightly possessive, so I’m gonna chalk that up to his cute way of saying, he loved the cake and I’ll just sneak what I want, when he’s not looking.

  3. This reminds me of a cake my grandmother use to make. I’ve been trying to replicate it for many years. It was so good. I can’t wait to try this.

  5. Your picture is of bundt cake. do you put the steusell crumble in the bottom first? Will it burn?

  7. Lea, I would add tin foil to the top of the pan and cover the pan loosely sometime half-way through baking or add it on top when you see it getting the color you desire and don’t want it to get darker. The foil trick is awesome if this happens to any baking you are doing, even for casseroles, meats, breads, so pretty much anything! Hope this helps and I’m so happy it came out beautifully for you Lea! xo

  8. HI – I made this today and added the optional pecans to the streusel mix, the cake came out beautiful but the topping was burnt. My oven was on the correct setting. How can I avoid this in future?

  9. Absolutely delicious. I did not make the strudel correctly and it fell to the bottom. I did read up on making the strudel and next time I will get it right. This recipe is definitely going in the recipe box.

  19. You could make it in 2 loaf pans. I don’t think it will all fit in one, or you could halve the recipe. As far as the eggs, you could substitute some applesauce but the texture is key to this with all the other ingredients. 1/4 cup applesauce equals one egg. Hope that helps Lydia! 🙂

  28. Hi Kim: Thank you very much for the instructions, I cannot wait to make the Pound Cake.

  35. On your Streusel Coffee Cake Pound Cake, you did not give the instructions on how to prepare the cake, you gave just the Ingredients. Can you please add on the Instructions. Thank you.
