I baked this coffee cake and took it in to The Mister and
his coworkers today. The plate came home empty!
I did sneak a small sliver just to make sure it was good!
Very yummy and moist!

then the rest of the batter in a greased tube pan

After cooled and removed from pan
drizzle with glaze.
I think I'd do the streusel part with no nuts...think it would work?
ReplyDeleteOnce when we lived in NJ I took cookies to Bunco and just in case other people didn't like nuts in their cookies I took with and without. I made little placards and labeled them 'boys' and 'girls'.
Am I allowed to say that here? Sometimes I live a little on the wild side...but that's about the wildest I get.
It's beautiful. You drizzle quite nicely! And, how thoughtful to deliver a treat to hubby and coworkers. The men we love need those actions of thoughtfulness.
ReplyDeleteThat looks so very good. I love coffee cakes and this recipe sounds yummy. The picture makes me hungry.
ReplyDeleteKayren---you are too funny!
ReplyDeleteI think this would be fine without the nuts!
Oh my goodness, that looks so good! I totally want to make that! Yum!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds delicious. I bet the Mister and his co-workers were happy to see you!
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious! What a lucky Mister you have that you would take the time to bake something special for him and his coworkers.
ReplyDeleteOne of our very favorites around here. Is there anything more delicious? Glad you got to sample a few bites. It can be quite a safety hazard getting between office people and a cake.
ReplyDeleteOh Betsy...I live alone...so, I try to be good and only bake when company's coming. Now...let me see...who can I invite for Friday night?
ReplyDeleteIt looks delicious, lady! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Blessings, Susie

ReplyDeleteI have all boys, too, so I know what it's like to swim in a sea of testosterone on a daily basis.
My best friend has four girls, so we made a deal to swap kids when we felt we needed a dose of the opposing hormone.
Looking forward to reading more,

ReplyDeleteBetsy,
ReplyDeleteI made your sour cream coffee cake. De-lish as Rachel Ray would say. This recipe is a keeper.
It is now referred to as Betsy's Sour Cream Coffee Cake.
Jack loved it. Had some for dessert last night after dinner.
