Lori - this is a very dense but flavorful coffee cake. I was a bit surprised at how thick the batter turned out - it was almost like a bread dough - sticky and very thick so I did add a bit more sour cream to try to help but it was very doughy. It still baked up in the 40 minutes. It is great warmed up the next day - as my DH and I prefer a less dense coffee cake and the reheating helps the density. It has such great flavors and is not overly sweet which is perfect for us! Made for the Gimme 5 Tag Game!

I love coffee cakes too, Lori! And this one turned out very tasty! I was a little worried at first because the dough was very stiff and I didn't think I could spoon it into the pan as the recipe said. So I added another 1/4 cup of sour cream. It was still stiff, but spreadable. I did put apple slices on top as suggested, and that gave it an extra nice flavor. This was a little heavier coffee cake than I'm used to, which surprised me since it calls for a Tbsp of baking powder. But the end result was very pleasing. Great with my morning coffee! Thanks for sharing this recipe, Lori!
