It's True, You Can Easily Travel
with Pets. Here's how. Sponsored by
Best Western Though there's no true
"classic" style of coffee cake,
this one seemed to remind us most
of the coffee cake our moms used
to-or still do-make (in fact, this
recipe came from a CHOW staffer's
mom). A mixture of cinnamon, sugar,
and nuts is ground fine and layered
into a rich, buttery batter that
includes a hearty hit of sour cream
for a little tang. Once baked, this
tall, lightly textured cake can be
enjoyed with coffee or tea for
Sunday brunch or made ahead for a
grab-and-go weekday breakfast. This
recipe was featured as part of our
Crunchy, Swirly, and Yeasty Coffee
Cakes for Mother's Day.
