Cinnamon Coffee Cake
8 ratings
Our Cinnamon Coffee Cake recipe is a favorite among our test kitchens staff. Bake it all the way through for a light and tender crumb or cut the bake time short for some serious ooey-gooey goodness in the center. The sweet, crunchy streusel is balanced by a sour cream mixture that keeps the sugar from going off the charts. This cake is so light that you won’t even need coffee. #coffeecake #cinnamoncoffeecake #baking #southernliving
