"Honeycomb coffee cake is not a typical coffee cake, but it is a good recipe. The topping was not my favorite, however my boyfriend thought it was great. It reminded him of a southern carmelized pecan ..." See morecandy. I think the candy flavor is due to the almond extract. The cake batter seems to be way too thick, but don't worry it bakes wonderfully. Just spread it into the pan as best you can. The topping seeps into the cake while it bakes. "
