This super moist coffee cake was an absolute hit at our house! Talk about a tasty breakfast treat, this Cinnamon Sour Cream Coffee Cake is also halfway healthy with two different types of Joseph's Grainery Whole Grain Flours. MaMa made this in a 9 inch round pie plate, she says she should have known better, as it made a big mess in the oven, but she says it's OK because it gave the cake a rustic look. Moral of the story...try this coffee cake, but make sure you use a big enough baking dish. ;)
