Moist Cinnamon Sour Cream Coffee Cake {Recipe}

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my Disclosure and Privacy Policy.

I love making coffee cake, especially when I have house guests. The excuse that a cake can be served in the morning or at night, makes it ideal to have on hand for any time of day. This coffee cake is extremely easy and super moist using ingredients you probably already have on hand. And because you can use a Bundt pan, it looks extra fancy without any extra work.  Bonus.

The brown sugar mixture creates a nice coating for the top but I love to include powdered sugar to give it a very finished and classy look!

The filling is not overpowering but gives a sweet and little bit crunchy surprise. Yum!

    oh boy, does this look good. I love moist coffee cake – I wonder if it is the sour cream that makes it so moist? My other fav is crumb topped coffee cake. This is a must do for the holidays!

  8. There’s a restaurant in Indianapolis. They are known for their coffee cake. Of course you can’t find the recipe online but this recipe sounds like and the pictures look VERY much like their coffee cake the name of the restaurant is Sahms. Google it 🙂 can’t wait to make this and see if it taste like it.

    1. Did you ever make this coffee cake? Just wondering because I know what you mean about it looking like Sahm’s!

        I just tried this last night- it’s super close to sahm’s but it’s not as white/thick. Still absolutely delicious and the taste is very close!
