sour cream coffee cake -my favorite!
For many years this has been one of my favorite coffee cakes because it is made with the finest ingredients: butter, sour cream, fresh eggs, vanilla and cinnamon, and walnuts. The aroma fills my house with a luscious scent. I feel like I've produced something incredible each time I bake it. My son has loved it since he was a small boy. It's a great gift for him as a birthday cake and he's almost 48 years old!
Blue Ribbon Recipe
What a great way to start the morning or end a meal! We loved this old-fashioned coffee cake recipe. It's made with simple ingredients and is delicious. The cake is tender and moist with a ribbon of cinnamon filling that runs in the middle of the cake. A bit of the cinnamon mixture is sprinkled on top, too, which adds just enough sweetness and keeps this from being a boring coffee cake. Pair with a steamy cup of coffee for a perfectly sweet treat.
