    This coffee cake is super simple to make and perfect for beginner bakers. This cake uses basic ingredients and only needs 45 minutes to bake. The sour cream gives this cake the perfect consistency in my opinion.

    Don't you hate it when raisins get stuck together in a big clump? To unstick the raisins, wet your hands with a little water then work the raisins apart.

    The first thing my wife said to me when I took it out of the oven was what kind of cake is that? Apparently she couldn't tell it was a coffee cake so I decided to look up its history and found this article on Wiki about the history of coffee cake.

      Making this coffee cake was the highlight of my day. It turned out perfect. This cake is so moist and because I love raisins it made it all the better.

      I’m going to try making this with dried cranberries instead of raisins. Bet it will be delicious!
