My kids have been cooking and baking since they could stand on a chair. The kids will dig out their favorite recipes. Each child has a specialty. For my son, he’s the only one allowed to make Buckeyes. The girls both go for the cookies. Mexican Wedding Cookies, Gingerbread Men, Sugar Cookies. There is no end to the baking. I love making cakes. Pound cakes, Coffee cakes, any cake that I can add to a cookie tray.
We usually have a cookie baking day. The girls will have friends come over, we’ll throw a little flour on our faces, eat some cookie dough, lick beaters, then when the cookies are done baking, enjoy a few with some ice cold milk. It’s our own private cookie exchange. We’ll package up what’s left in cute containers or holiday plates then deliver our goodies to the bank, to city hall, the police and fire departments. Baked goods just make the best gifts.
Everyone has to help clean up too. It’s no fun getting stuck in the kitchen doing all the dishes while everyone else is off playing. Making sure food doesn’t stick is not only important for the quality of the goodies but for ease in cleaning up. Using PAM Cooking Spray makes that easy. Cakes just pop out of pans, cookies slide off trays, and candy doesn’t taste greasy. Did you know that PAM leaves up to 99% less residue buildup than margarine or bargain brand cooking sprays? It ensures that your dishes turn out right with superior no-stick results so you can concentrate on the fun parts of the holidays, not the clean up!
This Coffee Cake is perfect for a weekend morning, to take to the office or to leave a slice out for Santa. (I’ve heard from a reliable source that Santa likes more than just cookies. ) Clean slices are a piece of cake making this easy to serve.

I love the simplicity of this, I always find that sour cream makes for the moistest cakes!
i will be baking stollen and sugar cookies and many other traditional family recipes.
I LOVE a good coffee cake and yours looks perfect and classic and SO delicious!
I love sour cream coffee cakes, okay I love coffee cakes in general. It’s the crumb topping that gets me. Your cooking baking sessions with the girls reminds me of those days with my mom as a kid when we used to spend all day baking for the holidays.

My short cut is making cookies in advance and then freezing them, I also tend to do that with scones, fruit pies and pound cakes as well! I also admit sometimes when I am short on time to using ready made frosting.

I will be making your Sour Cream Cake in a Bundy pan and putting the crumb and nuts in the middle of the cake instead of on top as you have on your sheet cake. My Uncle fixed his sour cream cake that way, but I lost his recipe in our house fire. . I would use your prize to buy more kitchen cookware. Thank you kindly for the recipe and opportunity to win a prize at the same time!
This sounds exactly like the one I was looking for that I made years ago. It will definitely be on the breakfast table this weekend. ๐

Should there be any coffee in the recipe (or have I missed it). Looks yummy, by the way
this looks so yummy.
There’s no liquid in the cake? It can’t be very moist. Maybe a little milk?
The butter and sour cream are the only “liqiuds” in this cake. It’s dense cake but very moist.
Just made this. Omg it’s perfect.Amazing texture and as sweet as it should be. Thanks for sharing
So glad you enjoyed it!
