This is the type of sour cream coffee cake you’ll make over and over again. You’ll love the way it’s heavenly cinnamon smell will fill your kitchen. It has a beautifully tender and fine crumb. It keeps very well, and can be dressed up in many guises. I have been making it ever since commercial sour cream first made its appearance in the grocery stores. You can become very creative with this recipe as long as you follow the basic ingredients. Recipe on Mrs. Butterfingers

This looks heavenly; I can’t wait to make it. Sour cream is a favourite.! 🙂
Sour cream is really a secret ingredient that turns the ordinary into something special. Virginia
Oh shades of my Grandmother’s baking……how divine!
Yes Darlin Tin Man it is Sarah Bernhardt divine. Virginia
I have to stop reading your food delicious posts after my self imposed ‘no more eating time’…now it’s munchies time. (Thank you for a good excuse.)
No no don’t stop reading Steven. Reading doesn’t put on weight. Virginia
Looks absolutely delicious! I would welcome a slice with my morning coffee…

Daniela – morning coffee, afternoon tea, in the middle of the night. I’m like a little mouse nibbling away at the coffee cake. Thank goodness it is such a big one. Virginia
Dear Virginia
Thinking of you today and thanking you for all your yummy recipes and magical posts!

Thank you my dear friend Pat. This is a difficult day. I appreciate your thoughts. Virginia
Looks scrumptious!
Alas and alack the last sliced disappeared at breakfast this morning. Virginia
And it tasted heavenly. I love making this coffee cake so much I often make it two or three times a week and share it with friends. Virginia
“heavenly cinnamon smell… beautifully tender and fine crumb….. dressed up in many guises.”

Florence, it is a long week-end here and the weather is a dream. It’s so very quiet on the farm you can almost hear the corn growing. It is as high as an elephant’s eye. Virginia
That is just divine! I am going to indulge in guilty pleasure….
🙂
And the wonderful part is you can indulge, and indulge, and indulge. This cake stays fresh for several days. But it seldom lasts that long in this house. Virginia
Hi Virginia!
I wonder how long is that going to last at my place,as me and my husband are famous foodies
🙂
This cake keeps beautifully – but it is so good it doesn’t linger long under the glass cake dome. Because it is such a easy recipe I make it frequently and that keeps the Good Husband very happy. Virginia
Oh my this looks scrumptious! Thanks soooo much for the treats. We each savored one…then put the box in the freezer to keep them fresh for the pictures : ) I think Jonathan has dibs on the rest of the box lol. They arrived just fine. The tag was lovely too. Hope you get your package soon. I had to wait to get one of the projects approved by the design team. I wanted to surprise you with something you hadn’t seen on the blog : ) Hope you enjoy a lovely evening!!!! Ginny
Oh what great relief. I have been wringing my hands – worried the fragile contents would crumble. This is all so exciting. I look forward to receiving your package. I am very excited as I celebrate a birthday tomorrow. I love birthdays, and lord knows I have had many to enjoy. You have a grand evening Ginny. Virginia
I’m going to enjoy this in my dreams, Virginia, as I’ve lost 9 lbs. and still working on a few more! It looks heavenly though; thanks for sharing (and tormenting) 🙂 Love and hugs to you!
Congratulations Lauren. We all know how easy it is to put on those pounds, and how incredibly difficult it is to take them off. I’m proud of you. Virginia
Thanks, Virginia, and it only gets tougher as we get older. I’m in that mind-set right now and would like to see my thinner days again! But, I’m not depriving either, just cutting back and exercising more…xx
You are going about this the right way Lauren. Bravo. Virginia
