My father grows a large buttercup squash patch, so each fall, I get an ample amount of his harvest. I make this treat to share with my co-workers. They rave about the moist cake, the crunchy streusel and the applesauce between the layers. -Mary Jones, Cumberland, Maine

This was the worst coffee cake I've ever had. It was dry, bland, and the streusel topping was like sawdust.

This coffee cake didn't turn out well for me. It was too dense and the streusel topping was too crumbly.
