We really love coffee cake and in the spring we love this delicious Strawberry Rhubarb Coffee Cake for brunch on the weekends. Don’t miss any of my other breakfast recipes like these supremely dippable Cinnamon French Toast Sticks, or this Cowboy Quiche or Green Chili Egg Casserole for a savory option.
Scrumptious Sour Cream Coffee Cake
This Sour Cream Coffee Cake recipe has been carefully tested and perfected so you get perfect results every time! It’s way better than any dry coffee shop version that never has enough of the cinnamon streusel topping to satisfy. It’s so good that my husband has even been known to request it for his birthday cake!
Does coffee cake have coffee in it?
No, coffee cake doesn’t actually have any coffee in it. The name comes from the tradition of serving a slice of moist, tender cake with a cup of coffee. There is no actual coffee in the batter. It’s one of those snacking-type cakes that you can serve for breakfast just as easily as a dessert. I’m more partial to eating it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for dessert, but no matter when or how you enjoy it, this long-time bakery favorite is sure to please!
Sour Cream Coffee Cake Recipe ingredients
Flour: I use all-purpose flour in coffee cake and it belongs in both the cake batter and the streusel for a soft, crumble streusel. Sugar: Both granulated sugar and brown sugar are in the streusel for the best texture and flavor, although only granulated sugar is used in the cake batter. Butter: I almost always use salted butter in my recipes. Eggs: Four of them, for binding and richness. Sour cream: I tested this recipe with full-fat sour cream, but I feel really confident that you could use Greek yogurt or even reduced fat sour cream and it would still turn out really well. Baking powder: For leavening – this is what makes the cake lift and rise. Baking soda: This also does the job of providing lift so the cake is light, but it also makes the cake tender. Salt: You really can’t bake without salt or your cake will taste bland. Cinnamon: Ground cinnamon is added to the streusel for that classic coffee cake flavor. Vanilla: To flavor the cake batter and tie everything together.
