February 23, 2019 at 12:36 pmI love coffee cake, but try to avoid it because it has so many calories. This recipe looks a lot healthier than the one we have.

October 17, 2018 at 4:01 pmYumm!
I’ve been looking at this recipe forever.
I finally made it because it’s cold outside and wanted to have something delicious for when my daughter came home from school .
Superb recipe!
I used cake flour, because it was all that I had.so had to add a little more flour to the mix.
Piled in frozen peaches and went crazy with some blueberries too! Thank you ! My kid thanks you!
Chef Dennis Littley says
October 17, 2018 at 4:04 pmThank you for the great review Gina, and I’m happy to hear you and your kids enjoyed the cake!
Mary says
August 25, 2018 at 2:28 pmThank you so much for creating this recipe combining two of my favorites… Cottage cheese and peaches. I made this for our church group and got rave reviews. I used strawberry Greek yogurt for added flavor. It’s a creamy consistency wrapped in a textured cake. Next time I might add a little more peach juice and a lot more peaches as they sink so nicely into the batter as it cooks so you have a peach in every piece.!

August 26, 2018 at 8:52 amThank you for such a nice comment and review Mary. I love to hear success stories from my readers.
Bec @ Cook Love Eat says
September 7, 2016 at 8:18 pmThat is great for breakfast – I am the worst culprit – so I would definitely have to make it the evening before – do you know if it freezes well? I could make a few ahead!
thank you!
Chef Dennis Littley says
September 7, 2016 at 9:04 pmThe cake didn’t last long enough to freeze but it should be okay frozen. It is a moister cake so it may get a little moister and looser when it thaws. It certainly would be worth a try to have them ready in the freezer.
