Sour Cream Coffee Cake

A coffee cake is what you served to neighbors stopping by, or brought on a tray of every flavor out halfway through a morning meeting (sour cream!) at an inn. This baby has the best texture (and it stays moist AF) and is so flavorful, I will definitely be making this for brunches or teatime (or just as a snack any time of day LOL). Because of how simple it is to put together, anyone can have a slice!

Why Make This Recipe

I love this recipe for a number of reasons. For starters, it’s super quick to throw together–as in not all-day-long-in-the-kitchen. The second reason why it is so great to use some sour cream in this recipe, because it makes this cake more moist and basically absolutely irresistible. This is also a kid friendly recipe! Kids to grandparents, it is such a delicious cake that everyone would love I bet. Which is just right for those lazy weekends or whenever you feel like pampering yourself.
