Cinnamon Roll Sour Cream Coffee Cake – Favorite for breakfast or dessert. This cake has the delicious taste of cinnamon roll and is topped with a sweet simple glaze.
This coffee cake is moist and delicious. Perfectly served up with a warm cup of coffee. I feel like this is starting like a day dream. It’s quiet. It’s morning. I’m all alone with a book and some goodies.
Take me back…to reality. I bake this cake. Kids want to taste it before it’s photographed. They argue over who gets which peace. Wait piece or peace? My brain can’t function the difference between the two at the moment.
Kids can’t decide between cake or cookies. Sigh. What hard decisions they have to make. Kids….
I’ve always wanted to be a mother. And I’m ever so thankful that God allowed that dream to come true not once, but 3 times.
I’m thankful that he saw me in a way that I never saw myself. He thought I was brave enough. Strong enough. Graceful enough.
I’m so thankful he has blessed with mornings. Yes, it’s tough to get out of bed some days. But I love the start of a new fresh beginning. I love the peace. I love rising with energy and purpose.
Can you tell I’m a morning person yet? I am. I don’t know when exactly it happened. But somewhere along the way it happened. And I’m happy it did.
Happy that I have awesome things like coffee and Caribbean smoothies and the chirping of birds to get my day going.
Life is good. Life is sweet. So blessed.

Not sure when I started to like getting up so early haha! This recipe looks awesome, sour cream sure does a lot to a recipe 🙂 Pinning this one to make sometime soon! Thank you!
I haven’t eaten breakfast yet, and I soooo wish I had a piece of this cake!
I’m a morning person, too. I’ve always preferred to go to bed early and wake up early. I was one of the few that actually preferred 7:30/8:00 a.m. lectures in college. 🙂
I am a morning person too. I haven’t always been, but as I have gotten older, I enjoy starting the day early. My morning would be even better if I had a large slice of this yummy coffee cake!
Sour cream is such a great ingredient in baking. Keeps everything moist and delicious. I bet your kids loved helping you eat this!

How much butter is in the crumb streusel topping? I would like to make this and couldn’t find the amount. Thanks
I’m so sorry that I missed that ingredient. I can’t accurately say until I make it again. I’ll try to do that as soon as I can. Thanks Karen! I appreciate all my readers and their feedback.
