For the next year I am doing a project - a different cake each week
for an entire year - following the book All
Cakes Considered: A Year's Worth of Weekly Recipes Tested, Tasted and
Approved by the Staff of NPR's All Things Considered. You can read
about the start of my project here
and look at each week to date here.
The recipe: The Barefoot Contessa's Sour Cream Coffee Cake

Nothing much exciting to say about this one. Good taste, a little on the dry side (likely because I overcooked it in my attempt to not under cook yet another one. Not my favourite one of the bunch so I probably won't make it again. If I did I'd definitely leave out the salt from the streusel, it didn't need it.
Recipients: Finally my husband got to eat cake! This one we kept for ourselves and whoever was passing through over the week.
Verdict: Good to snack on with coffee but nothing special.
Up next: Argroves Manor Coffee Cake.
