Sour cream coffee cake. Because it's awesome. Because we love it. Because it's our favorite thing.

I am not the mom with a "set" of regular recipes. I love to be in the kitchen and I sorta cook "from the hip". There are very few items that are in regular rotation…ok, like NONE! I'll find a new recipe, or I'll take out some protein and just "play".

However.

THIS coffee cake.

What began as a Christmas morning tradition is now my most demanded asked for, bake good. I tried deviating from the plan and making something new. Ixnay'd.

When the request comes in for coffee cake, I know exactly what they mean.

So I thought it best to share with you…my favorite people. I'm not a "foodie blogger" so I will do my best to put this in a format you can copy, paste and print! Want to do me a favor? Pin it!

SOUR CREAM COFFEE CAKE

1 cup of butter (please use the real thing….mmmm…butter!)

1 cup of sugar (never claimed it would be healthy)

2 eggs

1 cup of sour cream (not low fat)

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups of flour

1 teaspoon of baking soda

1 teaspoon of salt

FILLING/TOPPING:

1/3-1/2 cup of brown sugar (I like dark brown)

1/4 cup of white sugar

1 teaspoon of cinnamon

Directions:

Cream together the butter, sugar and eggs. 

Add in the sour cream and vanilla. (beware of flying sour cream…it happens)

Mix together the flour, baking soda and salt, then add into the creamy awesomeness.

Spread 1/2 the mixture in a greased 9x13.

Mix together the filling ingredients…try not to sample.

Spoon 1/2 the filling over the batter.

Drop by spoonfuls remaining batter over filling.

Sprinkle remaining filling.

*** I like to put it in the oven for about 5 minutes…let the batter on top begin to spread out, smooth it with a fork, THEN add the rest of the filling/topping.

Bake at 350˚ for 30 minutes.

Best served warm!

Guaranteed sugar high and family favorite. Hey sometimes it's worth the splurge!

Let me know how you like it!
