CINNAMON SOUR CREAM COFFEE CAKE
If you are looking for the best cinnamon coffee cake with the best crumb cake - THIS IS IT. Look no further because this cake has it all. Some coffee cakes can be very dry. Not this one. All thanks to the sour cream in the cake batter. The crumb topping is my very favorite crumb topping. You may remember it from these Coffee Cake Muffins.
I love this cake and will be making it many times for sure. It's so easy and such a hit! I hope you will give it a try!

Sour cream coffee cakes for the win! They're the best, aren't they? So flavourful and moist. This one looks amazing, Anna. I love how easy it is to throw together and that crumb topping looks perfect. I've been loving all the photos of your daughter's recital on your Instagram and facebook feeds. She is beautiful and I'm sure she's going to kick ass. Can't wait to hear how she does and how many tissues you use 😉
