Streusel Coffee Cake


This recipe came from my Mum. I have memories of making this all the time throughout my childhood, especially when we'd be going to visit my grandparents' cottage in Maine and special occasions. It's a delicious coffee cake.

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream

Streusel
  • 1 cup brown sugar
