This cake was very moist and relatively light. I did not add walnuts. I wanted to keep it simple. The cake did stick to the pan a little. It may be a good idea to actually butter the pan, even though you may be trying to keep the recipe lighter.
Sour Cream Coffee Cake
This cake keeps well in an airtight container for several days. If you don't have a Bundt pan, use a 10-inch tube pan.
