For many years this has been one of my favorite coffee cakes because it is made with the finest ingredients: butter, sour cream, fresh eggs, vanilla and cinnamon, and walnuts. The aroma fills my house with a luscious scent. I feel like I’ve produced something incredible each time I bake it. My son has loved it since he was a small boy. It’s a great gift for him as a birthday cake and he’s almost 48 years old!
