Sour Cream Coffeecake

There is nothing like a nice coffeecake on a Sunday morning with a cup of coffee and the paper.

I had so much sour cream left over from earlier in the week that was nearing the expiration date that I decided a nice coffeecake would be in order for us.

Off I went searching for a recipe and found a great one at the King Arthur website.

The recipe turned out very well even with all of my errors. *blush*

This coffeecake is tasty, moist and full of flavor.

Give it a try and enjoy!
