This sour cream coffee cake recipe has been in my husband’s family since he can remember.  It was always a treat on Christmas morning. 

It is interesting to note how some recipes are reserved for the holiday’s. This has been true for his side of the family since he can remember, and now for mine too. 

Anyone that has had some often asks…. are you making that sour cream coffee cake again this year? Sort of a reminder of how much it is loved. 

One year when my husband and I were hosting my side of the family for Christmas, I  made a coffee cake and set it out on the counter.  By the time we woke up in the morning, there was simply a little crumb in a corner with a note that said “left for Dan.”  Ever since that occurred, I make my husband his own.

sour cream coffee cakeNow we give smaller individual coffee cakes as gifts. Yes, it has come to that! It simply says “home for the holidays!” Feel free to make this delicious coffee cake a new tradition in your family, trust me you will be a hero! 

A couple of small notes, please use margarine as butter is simply too rich. 

Also, when you half the batter just make a thin layer on the bottom as you want to make sure there is enough to cover the top.

I find using the back side of  a spoon works best to spread the batter over the cinnamon and sugar layer.

Be sure not to overcook it, if anything under cook it slightly and then heat up a piece in the microwave for about 15 seconds and savor it with a cup of coffee or tea. 

Happy Holidays!

What is your favorite holiday recipe?  I would love to hear about your family’s traditions.

    I just want to thank you and wish you a very Marry Christmas. As an avid traveler and cook I look forward to your “Journey’s” with great interest.

    They often bring back memories of meals and places that I’ve forgotten as I rush out to the market to pick up that special ingredient needed for another new adventure or long forgotten dish.

    Thank you again and please keep it up,

    Tony
