Sour Cream Coffee Cake
The Omnivore has a sure-fire method of getting me baking in the kitchen.
All he has to do is grab his keys, declare there’s nothing sweet to eat in the house, and head out of the door to an overpriced convenience store for stale baked goods.
We both know he’s not going to make it to the Korner Pantry. We both know I’d rather die (almost) that have him spend that much money on that kind of sweet.
This is one of his favorite cakes. He loves to eat it for breakfast and loves to eat it as dessert.
He was the one who acquired this recipe in the first place – begging a poor woman to give up the secret after he fell in love with this dessert at an office potluck. I’ve made it nearly a million and a half times since that day. The first blog post I wrote about it can be seen here.
