Easy Sour Cream Coffee Cake Recipe

Notes

● This is one of my niece’s recipes. I was pretty meh when she suggested it, but honestly, this is a simple coffee cake recipe that tastes phenomenal!! You would never guess that from the ingredients as they are pretty basic, but OMG this tastes fantastic.

● While my (ok her) directions call for a 13″x9″ pan, I have made this by dividing this sour cream coffee cake recipe into two loaf pans and baking. I actually prefer those portions as we will eat one, and freeze one. If you decide to do that, watch the baking time.

● If freezing, wrap well as nothing tastes worse than freezer burned cake. (You freeze after baking and cooling.)

● Instead of lining your pan with parchment paper and spraying with a non-stick spray, you can grease and flour the baking pan. However, the parchment paper method makes removing the sour cream coffee cake from the baking pan a breeze!
