Wow, shoekitty. Better than Grandma's? I'll definitely make this one.

Shoekitty, does Ina have a name for her coffee cake?

These recipes both look delicious. Thanks to both of you for posting, and Li'l Miss Sunshine for asking.

shoekitty, thank you for the recipe.......sounds like a yummy keeper!

My Grandma's uses Madagascar vanilla (which I have on the shelf). I think I'll toast the walnuts to see if that's closer in flavor.

Anyone have suggestions on what size bundt pan you can use instead of the tube pan?

Yes! Ina calls it, Sour Cream Coffee Cake.

Snowpuppy,

The toasted walnuts sound perfect. I always add a touch more Vanilla myself, and use Madagascar as well, an organic version.

Truely this cake is good. It is moist, not overly sweet, cuts beautifully, and when stored correctly gets better the second day.. Everytime I make it I have a little trouble getting the struesel filling centered, LOL. It is not a ton of struesel filling in the center, but try to get it more even if you can. I get spots where there isn't any, then some where there is a little more. I think I need new glasses!

As I said I started out buying her mixes for this. I loved them so well I purchased them a few more times until she quit making them. The recipe is right on the money. Also, I would recommend her OLD FASHIONED BANANA CAKE. It is almost like a banana bread cake. Great for a coffee cake.

I remember making 1.5 times the recipe for the streudel the second time I made it. I liked more streudel on top. But you have to cook it a bit more

I made Ina's recipe this morning and all I can say is "I'm in big trouble!"

It is so delicious and it is sitting on my counter calling my name. I said I'd just have a tiny sliver to try it, that turned into a wedge,lol.

What a great recipe!

Only changes I made were that I used all purpose flour, pecans instead of walnuts and apple pie spice instead of just cinnamon.

Perfect recipe for over night guests or to give as a gift.

My husband and son will be happy when they get home in the -25 wind chill, to this delicious treat.

Thanks for the recommendation

Decisions, decisions. Should I make this coffee cake, with all purpose flour, thanks Lynneuk for the tip about using regular flour, or applesauce bread from LBM today. I am not sure I have enough sour cream tho, and it is too cold to go out to the store. I will be checking the frig.

This has nothing to do with a sour cream coffee cake, but has to do with Ina Garten. Her new series starts this weekend on Sunday on the Food Network. Thought Ina Garten's fans here might like to know.

The name of the show is Barefoot Contessa's Celebrations. The timeslot is 11:30 on the east coast. I already have my dvd set.
