A slice of rich double chocolate banana bread with chocolate chips rests on a white plate, with the full loaf and a ripe banana visible.

Slice of layered coffee cake on a ceramic plate showing moist yellow cake with cinnamon swirl filling and thick crumb topping, with whole cake and serving board visible in background on wooden table

This sour cream coffee cake layers buttery vanilla cake with a cinnamon sugar swirl down the middle and a thick, crumbly streusel on top. The sour cream keeps it tender and moist without being heavy. What I love about this cake is that hidden cinnamon layer. You spread half the batter, sprinkle cinnamon sugar across […]
