SO GOOD! perfect chilly morning weekend breakfast. I was craving pecan buns but didn’t have the energy or time and these hit the spot.

Easy and delicious. When eating a piece while still warm, the flavor was a little reminiscent of a pancake --- that's not a negative, just a comment. But when you look at the ingredients, that's really no surprise. I suspect the broiled butter-brown sugar-pecan topping is what did it.

Wow! Aside from the nostalgia quotient, which was huge, I've been looking for this recipe! Well, maybe not this exact, word-for-word recipe, but for one like the coffee cakes the ladies in my family all made when I was little. This is so close! Thanks! I miss baking with my grandmother so much. Memories...

Sweet story. This recipe reminds me of my mother's yellow cake with broiled icing which was always a family favorite.
