Must-Make Coffee Cake with Streusel

This is the new go-to cake recipe in our home. We tried it three different ways; with full fat and sugar as the original recipe called for, with less fat and sugar, and with less fat and sugar plus whole wheat pastry flour. The last choice won hands down. I just told the family that I put in more coffee and therefore it was browner (that was true) and didn’t tell them about the whole wheat. This makes a chashuve, elegant mishloach manot that anybody would appreciate getting. But please, make it my way! Thanks, HDG.

when using a bundt pan, the crumbs end up being on bottom?

You can sprinkle the crumbs first if using a bundt pan, so the crumbs stay on top.

Sugar/ applesauce substitute Hi, I’m a bit confused based on reviews/ questions. Just to confirm.
Original recipe calls for 1 AND third cups sugar, and then half cup applesauce folded in at end.
“Healthy version” use 1/3 (or quarter) cup oil, then 1 cup of applesauce folded in at end aside from the half cup already written, so total 1 and half cups applesauce folded in at end?
