Here's a recipe from my college days. I had three roommates from southern Colorado and they would make this coffee cake almost every Sunday. It soon became a favorite amongst us roommates and pretty much everyone else who knew us. After a few Sundays this coffee cake became known as the Colorado Cake.

Can you make this without the nuts? Does it taste the same?
Truthfully I have never had it with nuts. I was a little shocked when I read the recipe and saw the nuts included.
