We loved the flavor of this coffee cake, but had some problems with the texture. This recipe calls for more butter and sour cream than other similar recipes, yet only 1 5/8 C. flour, which is a wierd measurement. After baking, the cake seemed to compress as it cooled. So even though the taste was great, I think I would try to lighten up the ingredients to achieve a lighter texture cake.
