Sour Cream Coffee Cake

Sour Cream Coffee Cake is a wonderful recipe given to me about 40 years ago by a neighbor.  Her name is Ruth Ann.  I am not sure where Ruth Ann is… as I lost track of her years ago.  The last I heard she had moved to Nebraska.  I hate it when we lose track of people in our lives.  

I have been making this easy coffee cake for years and I always receive rave reviews and recipe requests. 

It is so simple to mix up the batter, and pour half of the batter into the baking dish.

Sprinkle on 1/2 of the cinnamon/sugar topping and the nuts

Add the remaining batter and remaining cinnamon/sugar topping and chopped nuts.

Bake in 350 degree oven and in 35-45 minutes you are eating warm coffee cake! Yum!

When this is baking in the oven, the smell of cinnamon makes you want to eat the whole coffee cake all by yourself.

So for the few who do not have this recipe from me…here it is.

I love coffee cakes! Especially a coffee cake made moist by sour cream.

Grab a cup of hot tea or coffee and enjoy!
