A few days ago I made this cake (but used a different recipe for the crumb topping) and brought it to a pot luck at my office. After the cake had cooled I gave it a light dusting of powdered sugar then drizzled some apricot jam across the top and then gave another light dusting of powdered sugar. The cake disappeared almost immediately and received rave reviews -- including "This is the BEST coffeecake you've ever brought to us!" which, of course, made my head swell to a tremendous size. This is definitely a keeper recipe.
