Serving Up {Breakfast}: Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake


I was surprised recently when I went to share this recipe with a co-worker and discovered that I had not yet posted it.  A real oversight considering this has been a favorite of ours for a very long time.  I have taken it to many potluck events and it is a hit every single time.  The smell of cinnamon that accompanies it is enough to make this recipe a "10".  But the real secret is the sour cream in the recipe that keeps this coffee cake moist and delicious.  Yum!
