I have been using this exact recipe for years. It is a favorite. The batter is quite thick. After spreading the first layer of batter in the pan and adding half the the sugar mixture, I drop the remaining batter in small dollops on top using a teaspoon. I don't try to smooth it out. Then I sprinkle on the remaining sugar mixture. This works well for me.

This coffee cake recipe is another example of "less is more" and "the simpler the better." This is a classic, no frills recipe that, because of the sour cream and butter, I knew would be likable before I even tried it. Still, I wanted to play around with it, so I sandwiched a can of peach pie filling in between the layers, keeping everything else the same, and it was just delicious.

I loved this coffee cake! It was delicious. I really liked the chopped pecans in the brown sugar topping. I will be making this again.
