Coffee cake is our favorite breakfast treat and is really a simple recipe to mix up and toss in the oven.  This is the best recipe because it uses sour cream, which makes the finished cake really moist and dense.  This stuff is definitely worth the extra calories.

Time for another Recipe Retake!  Today, I am taking you all the way back to 2008….

Out of all the coffee cake recipes I make, and I make a lot of them, this is the one I make the most because it is the easiest to throw together!  However, when I look back at my original picture below, all I can do is cringe because it is nothing short of miserable!

Part of me wants to go back and delete the image completely, but I also think it is important for me to remember how far I have come in the 7 years I’ve been blogging!

This coffee cake is so dense and moist!  It never makes it past one breakfast in the Jones home because it is really hard to only eat one piece.  By the time we’ve all had our fill, only a few crumbs of the killer streusel topping is left in the bottom of the pan.
