Cinnamon-Walnut Coffee Cake

The same cinnamon-walnut mixture that is swirled through this tender, fine-grained cake also serves as a crunchy topping. The cake’s light structure develops during a thorough beating of the eggs and sugar. It is hard to overmix the batter at this stage, so don’t skimp on the beating time.
