The pioneer woman coffee cream cake recipe

There are two camps when it comes to classic sour cream coffee cake: the "just here for the streusel topping" folks and the "all about that tender, mile-high cake" folks. Well, this homemade cake will make everyone very happy! The streusel—a crumbly mix of cinnamon, almonds, butter, flour, and brown sugar—is sandwiched between and sprinkled on top of the cake so you get some in every bite. Sour cream adds a hint of tanginess and keeps the cake wonderfully moist and tender, even if you bake it a day ahead. This is a lovely cake to have on hand when hosting house guests. Slice it up for a quick breakfast, sweet snack, or simple dessert!

Pioneer Woman’s Best Coffee Cake Ever – Review

Is the Pioneer Woman’s Best Coffee Cake Ever Recipe really the best coffee cake ever? Check out how my experience went with this popular recipe.

The other day, I had a craving for coffee cake, which immediately sent me to Pinterest to look for a recipe. I ran across one from the Pioneer Woman which she claimed was the Best Coffee Cake. Ever. I’ve had good luck with a few of her recipes that I’ve made before and her pictures looked fantastic.

I had high hopes as I made the batter, which was a little involved, but not terribly complicated for the preparation. It looked pretty darn good as I put it into the oven. The brown sugar/cinnamon crumble on top smelled amazing!

Here’s where I admit that once every few months I have a bit of a baking debacle. Not quite a fail, as whatever I’m making usually tastes pretty good but just doesn’t look quite right. The exception to this was some crazy dry red velvet cupcakes that no amount of hom
