You really can’t taste it and it make the cake so moist.

I agree life would be over without coffee…lol Thanks! ❤
It sounds wonderful! I love that it’s so easy….just my style of baking! I need to whip one up this evening for in the morning. 🙂
I had to give a bunch away because it was so good I was afraid I would end up eating it all myself!
That’s a firm possibility here too. 😀
Oh my gosh, I need a slice of this right now!
I wish I could send you some but I gave most of it away! Thanks Erica!
Oh I bet it didn’t last long! 😉
My mom made a close variation of this – it seemed to get moister the older it was.
I gave it away before I had a chance to figure that out…lol
My mom made it for years … it was delicious.
This is one of my absolute favorites 💕
I agree Lisa! 💖
what a coffee lover’s treat! 🍵💖
Right like we need a reason to drink coffee though…hahahaha
Lovely cake! Looks so soft, moist & delicious!
That’s the sour cream! Thanks so much Megala!
❤❤❤
I really prefer tea over coffee but this looks delicious!
That’s so funny because tea is what I started drinking at your age. Then I graduated and got a full time job. Everyone drank coffee and the company provided it for us but not tea! So I started drinking coffee and dumped a ton of sugar and cream in it then it was OK. Over the years I started adding less but I still can’t drink it black.
There was a brief time in middle school when I liked coffee. But I have loved tea since the past three years. Grape tea and black tea are my favorites! I really hope that I will never have to give up tea!
Grape tea!!!!! No way I never heard of that one and I use to grow grapes boy did I miss out!
You had me drooling again!
Then I did my job! 🤣😂🤣
Oh yes, you did!
I love these old recipes! This reminds me of a sour cream coffee cake that my mom used to make every year and give them to us at Christmastime. Her’s had the addition of a box of coconut cream pudding mix, which made it absolutely irresistible. One of her instructions in the directions was “get the basic cake mix, any brand, but you don’t want to use the deluxe mixes here.” I always wondered what would happen if I did…
That’s a good question! I have never bought a deluxe mix before. This would be a great cake to give as a gift. I know I would enjoy receiving it!
Looks delicious.
Thank you it really was! ❤
