Coffee cakes seem like a blast from the past. I don’t see them in bakeries much, even though they are a great choice for serving a group. The following cake has two layers: The bottom cake is enriched with sour cream for a fluffy interior, and the second layer is a crumbly sweet layer of crispy streusel.

This moist sour cream coffee cake is Seriously Simple to put together and is worth making for last-minute breakfast or brunches. Cinnamon-spiced streusel is a fond childhood taste memory for many of us. Serve this old-fashioned coffee cake for breakfast or brunch, or as an afternoon pick-me-up with a cup of hot tea.
