Margaret's Sour Cream Coffee Cake
"My Mom made one of the best Sour Cream Coffee cakes that I have ever tasted. I've tried other recipes and none of them were as moist as my Mom's. If you are looking for a moist and delicious Sour Cream Coffee cake, well look no further and make this one. I've added a couple of variations at the bottom. My neighbors son always asks me when I am going to make him this cake with the chocolate chips."

I made this to take to an Easter brunch and was very disappointed in that it was too dry a cake even though I was very careful to not overbake it. Also, there is way too much sugar in the sugar cinnamon mixture in my opinion. I used only half the amount and it was plenty. -
I was looking for something quick and easy to make for a light breakfast when my sister comes over in the morning to help me garden. This fit the bill perfectly. Very easy, simple ingredients, and wonderful flavor. I subbed in Splenda for half the sugar and used light sour cream. I also added some coarse ground walnuts to the topping. Although the batter is very thick on this, the cake itself is very moist and light. I used a 9x5 loaf pan and baked for 35 minutes. Perfection.

Hi my name is Katherine and I live in Leduc, Alberta, Canada which is 15 minutes south of Edmonton and home to the world famous West Edmonton Mall. I work for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (R.C.M.P.), which is a extremely interesting job.
My family consists of my husband Brian and we had a blue eyed Siberian Husky named Yukon who loved her 2 to 3 walks a day. Yukon passed away on July 24/07 at the age of 14 years & 7 months.
We have a beautiful male Tuxedo cat named Kuffs, whom we rescued in December, 2006. He around 6 weeks old & was dumped off at my husband's business in -30 Celcius weather & was half froze when Brian found him. Kuffs brought back life into Yukon for the nine months that he was with her. Those two certainly loved to cuddle & chase one another. After Yukon's passing, Kuffs quit eating, looked for Yukon & cried constantly. We had full intentions of getting him a playmate but it happened sooner than later.
That same week we went to the Humane Society (SPCA)& adopted a gorgeous little female pure grey kitten & named her Jesse. She is just precious & became Kuffs baby sister.
I love to try different recipes and Recipezaar has provided me with some of the most tasty and wonderful recipes yet.
Things I enjoy doing are walking,reading a good novel, sewing, crafts, traveling, camping and being with good friends and family.
