This Christmas Morning Coffee Cake is great with a cup of coffee while opening gifts. Who am I kidding, this cake is great any time of the year.
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.
I like raisins in my baked goods so that's what I decided to use. But if you are like my wife and don't like raisins, you can easily substitute for nuts. Unless you have a nut allergy...
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.
