A Classic Coffee Cake Recipe with a delectable streusel topping.
I don’t know about you but one of my favorite things to have for breakfast is coffee cake. I love this recipe because it has loads of crumb topping. The cake is topped with a crunchy cinnamon streusel. If you love crumb topping then I think this coffee cake will have the perfect cake to crumb topping ratio for you! The cake itself stays super moist with all the yogurt & sour cream in it. The first time I made this recipe I knew it was a keeper!
I have 3 coffee cake recipes that I love making. Which one I make really just depends on my mood & what sounds the best at the moment. My favorites are: Streusel Coffee Cake, Sour Cream Coffee Cake, & New York Style Crumb Cake. They are all amazing & they all have one thing in common: lots of crumb topping!
