Classic Sour Cream Coffee Cake

When the world feels overwhelming... BAKE.

My mom and I always used to bake coffee cake late at night when I was younger, and it was always a special kind of stress relief for me. We would eat half of it standing in the kitchen right when it came out of the oven, and she would put a piece in my lunch the next day.

Now, that coffee cake was out of a box, because my baking skills didn't come from Mama Klippy. This coffee cake is everything I reminisce about with how fluffy and moist it is, but it is so much better than I remember from the box with how rich and buttery it is. Hope you all make some memories with this coffee cake!
