Sour Cream Coffee Cake

You are going to love this easy Sour Cream Coffee Cake recipe!

When I finally had a few glorious hours to myself last week, I decided to have a go at making this Sour Cream Coffee Cake from an old football club recipe book that I’d been eyeing off for quite awhile for my afternoon tea, after all it only makes sense to combine coffee and cake into one delicious creation!

I like my coffee cake just like my cup of coffee – rich and strong and this cake delivers!  The use of sour cream in the cake helps to give it a gorgeous fudgey texture and it has just the right amount of coffee flavour. While it may seem like an overkill to make a coffee icing, this thick icing gives the cake an edge which turns it into something pretty amazing and gives you a nice coffee hit too!

If you wanted to make this cake a little fancy, you could decorate it with some toasted walnuts, I think it’s pretty amazing as it though.
