    I made absolutely no changes, and the cake was moist and delicious. The lack of a noted cooking time is tricky, but I would say it took about 35 minutes to bake. I have made this twice already, so you know it's a keeper.

    We all really enjoyed this rich tasting coffee cake. The only change that I made was dried cranberries instead of dried cherries as I didn't have any on hand. The cake cooked for 30 minutes in my oven. Thanks so much for posting.

    Extremely moist, the cream cheese adds so much flavor and richness it is almost sinful. Dense and light at the same time! The batter alone is addictive- like cheesecake for breakfast. I have made with dried apricots and pecans as well and DH has requested apple- you can't go wrong with this delicious coffee cake. 30 minutes was not quite done...Took 35 minutes for me.

    I love this coffee cake and I have made it several times. Each time, I have left out the dried cherries, personal choice. The cake is moist, flavorful and light. Not a crumb ever goes to waste. Coffee cake is always great to have on hand when you have company in the house. This coffee cake will be around my house a lot.
