      I need a little clarification on the quick coffee cake. Does the butter, cinnamon and brown sugar go in the cake batter or only on the top? If not in the batter it makes only flour,milk and soda as the cake part which does not sound like it would be correct.

        Yes, it all goes in the batter, sorry for it being unclear!

      Kevin, I think that the temperature or the cooking time is wrong. It seems to me if it is correct, it will be awfully dry and perhaps burned to ashes. You won't have supper.

        That does seem long...2" thick ham...could be a typo in the recipe, I did re-check against the original...I'd try baking a lot less time and just monitoring it
