1/2 cup raisins (optional)

  1. I don’t have a bundt pan can this be made in a 9×13 pan?

    1. The Southern Lady says:

      You should be able to, Susan.

  2. Omg this cake is sooo delicious, but it only last a half a day . Thank you so much for sharing your amazing recipes. 🙂

  3. verlon kelty says:

    my mom called this cake [ sock it to me ] kids an grand kids loved it . an yes it freezes well .

  4. My great grandmother had a very similar recipe with walnuts and cinnamon. I omit the nuts usually because a lot of people dont eat nuts. But I think raisins will be an interesting addition. When I make it next I will have to make one with raisins (I usually make two at a time because they go so fast around my family)

  5. Can u make this bake with all the ingredients and leave the sour cream out?

  6. Can. I made this cake and freeze it as I would love to serve it on Boxing Day. But I know I won’t have time to make it with all my grandchildren here
    Tks

    Looking forward to making it as we love coffee cakes and this one sounds yummy

    1. The Southern Lady says:

      I have not tried freezing this cake but I see no reason why you couldn’t. If you try it, let me know.

  7. will definitely be trying this. Looks yummy!

  8. This looks absolutely delicious. I like trying new sour cream bundt cakes any time I get the chance, and this one will be next! And I really like your blog- it isn’t pretentious like so many food blogs out there. Thanks!

  9. What do you think about adding apples?

  10. This certainly looks moist and delicious and certainly better than others I have seen before elsewhere. I am going to make this for the family very soon.
