Weitzel Coffee Cake

This coffee cake is every bit as good for breakfast as afternoon tea. Classic ingredients, a light airy, yet moist, texture, and a simple topping make this a go to for brunches, garden parties, and morning satisfying off to the office bite. Sour cream is the secret weapon.When used in cake recipes, sour cream offers a beautiful balance of acidity and a fat ratio content that translates into a fine moist crumb and flavorful cake.
