Does this look like your cake?

DSC01360 I made this cake one afternoon and was very surprised at how lovely it was.  It was  light, fluffy, and delicately moist but here’s my dilemma I don't know who to give credit for it.  I know I didn't find it on one of my regular haunts and I've lost my print out of the recipe.  I want to say that the words sour cream were in the name but when I googled sour cream coffee cake a gazillion links pop up.  I can’t remember if the recipe called for cinnamon sugar to be sprinkled on top or if that was my own addition and I know I cut back on the chocolate chips.  I baked mine in 3 mini loaf pans and 1 small ramekin.

Please, if this looks or sounds like your cake by all means speak up.  I think it has tremendous potential and would like to make it again with a few tweaks. Instead of chocolate chips ( I cut back on those the first time) I'd love to add in some cinnamon ones and toasted nuts are always a wonderful addition. By the way you should know that your recipe doesn't specify when to add the butter.  Luckily I saw it on the counter just before I poured the batter into my pans.  I admit my first thought was uh,oh, I goofed but no, I read and re-read the recipe, you left it out. I went ahead and added it in, fortunately it was very soft and mixed in fine. So, please, if you recognize this cake let know and can I have the recipe? (Abby, I need to try the coffee cake you raved about!)

Note:  I made this almost two months ago so this photos are quite as nice as my more recent ones.  I’d like to think I’m improving! :) 

Here’s a little of the first “B”, baseball!  My brother Joseph (in the white shirt) took most of these photos of the Twins.  Devon is #4 and Jalen is #13.  The other man in the photos is Papi, my father.

Love all those bball pics. Did the boys fare well in NY? (I'm right about that, aren't I? Weren't they in New York?)

Risa said...

Well this cake is not mine, but it looks delicious. I have a weakness for cinnamon and sugar.

Robin said...

Ingrid too funny! I just posted on Sour Cream Coffee Cake/muffins this morning! So it can't be from me! I got my recipe from my mom but I think it is such a popular recipe it could have come from anywhere! I think I even made a version of it in Home Ec as a girl.
Your boys are handsome men and I have a Deven (spelled differently) too!

Leslie said...

A while back, some of the food bloogers were doing cinnamon cakes... Tuesdays with Dorie bakers... maybe. Anyway, I got a great recipe from Prudence Pennywise that was similar, but she didn't use chocolate chips: http://prudencepennywise.blogspot.com/2009/06/cinnamon-cake-and-premature-labor.html

However some of the others did. You could check tastespotting.com and search there. These gals usually post their pics there.

Steph said...

You're so funny! The cake looks really good, especially the topping. Btw, which strawberry cake recipes have you tried?

Abby said...

Ha. That's hilarious! I've misplaced recipes before and guessed at what I used. So I've been there! We do a lot of cooking and baking, right? (And YES. You DO need to try that cake! It's faboo.)

Those are some handsome guys!

Kerstin said...

Cinnamon, sugar, and chocolate chips - it sounds so good! Great pics of your boys in action!

I don't care who's cake it is, I want it desperately! Is there anything you make that doesn't suck or make my mouth water and beg my tummy to digest some real food??

That said, love the photos of the boys..so handsome! Also, once again, thanks for helping me choose photos. You have no idea how much of a help it is to me at this time! *hugs*

Snooky doodle said...

Megan said...

Slices of Beauty... said...

Will take the credit, it looks so yummy, lol!

Jaime said...

Yum, that looks delicious!

Another thing you can use aside from your oven broiler for roasting fruit is a creme brulee torch, if you have one :) Or a George Foreman Grill.

Baby and I are doing great, thanks so much for asking :) I had about a month of morning sickness my 1st tri but only threw up once. Now that I am well into my 2nd tri (21 wks today), I am feeling great. I have been feeling her kick since wk 16, and I have to say that it is my favorite part of being pregnant! I am going to miss it. Just have to enjoy the 2nd tri before I become enormous and uncomfortable in the 3rd tri! (although my feet are already swelling from being on my feet all day at work!!)

Maria said...

Looks like a great cake. I wish it was mine and I was eating it now!

Anonymous said...

Haha, I wouldn't mind my cake looking like that!

Eliana said...

If you find the recipe let me know because this cake looks great.

As for the cast iron grill, I have used it to make fruit and it works out just fine. You aren't supposed to use soap when washing these babies. So what I do is spray it heavily before grilling and when after I wash it with really hot water after letting it soak for a while. works like a charm every time.

Lorraine @ Not Quite Nigella said...

Lori said...

Thats a great cake. I have a few recipes taht I cut and pasted and forgot to put where I got it from. Then it drives me nuts trying to find it.

Louise | UPrinting.com said...

What's that inside the cake, by the way?
I thought it was a muffin because it looked small, LOL.
No matter what that cake is called, it still looks yummy! :)
