This coffee cake is really good! I did cut back on the butter and the sugar in the recipe. I used about 3/4 c. of brown sugar and 1/4 c. butter in the topping. I used 3/4 c. butter and 1 c. of brown sugar only (no white sugar) in the cake batter. I used almonds instead of pecans. It still turned out really good. I will be using this recipe again.. THANKS!

I've never had Startbuck's coffee cake, so can't comment on whether this tastes like theirs, but this is one delicious cake! One for the keeper file! I made the full amount of batter, but halved the topping. Then baked it in a 8-inch square baking pan. Not something I would make regularly, with all the butter and sugar, but a wonderful treat!

I have never had this or any other cake/pastry at Starbucks, so I can't really compare it, but it was a simple recipe for coffee cake. I would probably suggest starting w/less butter for the topping and gradually add more as needed for the correct consistency...mine came out a little too "wet" because I put it al in at once, then again, I also melted the butter, maybe that's what the problem was? The cake wasn't very thick either, maybe use a smaller pan next time so it's not so flat. But the taste was great, and I love the topping, kinda crunchy, I only had chopped walnuts.
