This was phenomenal (and phenomenally easy)! The perfect hint of sweet, with the perfect hint of spice. Thank you for making my first vegan cake a success -with vegans and omnis, alike! |

aww i wish this turned out as good as everyone else's! damn! well it was pretty good, kinda dry-ish and a little heavy...but it is probaly MY fault. i didn't have ww pastry flour so i used regular white whole wheat, also i didn't have any soygurt so i used tofu and some soymilk. i guess i knew it wasn't gonna turn out when the recipe said "pour batter into pan" and i had to pat mine.
however i love all y'all's recipes so i'll probaly make this baby again, just with the RIGHT ingredients.
A better replacement for WW pastry flour would be regular white flour, regular whole wheat is just too heavy, and you found out the hard way! - Isa |

I can tell this is a nice cake. However, after I'd combined all the ingredients, I was afraid the batter was way too runny, so I added another 1/2 cup of flour. I shouldn't have done that; it came out too dry. If I make this again, I will 1) stick to the 4 cups of flour, 2) toast the walnuts, and 3) quadruple the amount of topping, 'cause that's my favorite part. Overall, great recipe! Tastes better than conventional coffee cakes, even in spite of my too-much-flour mistake. |

made this as my first cake ever and it turned out perfectly! i used some slightly different peripheral ingredients just 'cos that's what i had around. hazelnuts instead of walnuts because i don't like walnuts. anyway, woo hoo! a very encouraging beginning to my new baking career. so long web design and pop music! thank you! |

Maybe I'm just picky, but this was just okay for me. The texture is great, but the cake itself is a bit plain, sort of like an oatmeal cake, and the topping is super dry, even though I added more oil. It's pleasant, just not a wow. The only changes I made were using unrefined sugar instead of maple syrup, which usually makes things sweeter and I didn't have any allspice, but that shouldn't make a huge difference. It really isn't bad, but I think next time I will try adding some vegan margarine or something. |
