Early this month I just about lost my marbles when I tried to make a coffee cake like a cinnamon swirl I had from Starbucks. It seems I got a scam recipe from the internet.

The menu of coffee cake today I got the original recipe from Mama’s gotta bake/Too big to fail/1959 LAUSD Sour cream coffee cake/From the Los Angeles Times. I am happy and secure that it is correct because after the first batch everyone in the house love it. So I must bake it again.

The first time I use a glass container to bake and it takes time about one hour for the cake to finish. (toothpick come out clean)

So this second time I use a tart pan that is light aluminium. The cake can finish about  40 minutes (I bake a few minutes longer)…Cake well done.

The recipe below I have adapted a few ingredients are flour – I use only cake flour so a second batch cake texture is more light, Topping – Add cinnamon powder  and use pecan instead of walnuts.  

The cake came out fine, moist at the bottom and crumb on top and to be carefully upside down to cool. The tart pan is wide then the cake is not high as the same as the first time. Cake texture is moist, light and soft. We do love both first and second batch.

Hope you like this sour cream coffee cake recipe.
