This is a good basic recipe for sour cream coffee cake. With a few changes it can be a great coffee cake. After combining the flour with the wet ingredients, beat for 5 minutes. This makes the texture of the cake smoother. I also don't like nuts so I stir in a cup of chocolate chips instead of the cinnamon and nut filling. I bake it in a Bundt pan for 50 minutes. When completly cool, I dust it with confectioners sugar. This is the cake that my family requests for birthdays with the exception of the granddaughter that asks for cheese cake.

I have not tried this particular recipe, but it is very similar to my mother's. Instead of apples, I use currants and rasins. Next time I will try it with apples. My family loves them amd I have to make them for New Year's Eve every year.

I baked this cake for a birthday in my office and received many compliments on it. One of the women requested that I bake it for her birthday. Even though I don't usually like nuts, the filling was a nice blend of pecan flavor with the custard.
