Banana Sour Cream Coffee Cake

A sweet little coffee cake with breakfast is a special way to start the day! I have some tried and true favorites, like

Last week I had the urge to make a new recipe, so I went looking for another coffee cake to add to my collection. I found a 1997 Southern Living magazine page neatly folded and tucked into the safety of my recipe box! As I unfolded this treasure, I found two cake recipes waiting to baked! They both looked delicious. The decision as to which I should make was an easy one. As I read the ingredients, I realized that I had everything necessary to make the Banana Sour Cream Coffee Cake.

Blueberry Buttermilk Breakfast Cake

I recently had the blessing of having my daughters over for a leisure Saturday breakfast. We are all “foodies.” Google defines a foodie as “one who has refined interest in food!” Our belief is that we don’t want to just eat something – we want it to be delicious. Mealtime is an event! I wanted to make it a little special!

I looked through my recipe index here on my blog, and when I saw this Buttermilk Blueberry Breakfast Cake recipe, I knew it would be the perfect addition to the rest of the meal. I wanted savory and sweet, and this was a nice addition to the egg dish I was making. This cake is fluffy, moist and full of flavor.

Here was my menu:

Baked Quiche
Grits
Buttermilk Blueberry Coffee Cake
Fresh Fruit with yogurt and Peanut Butter Granola

Cherry Coffee Cake

Happy October! Fall is a season of comfort foods and delicious coffee cakes enjoyed with mugs of steaming coffee. Today I’m sharing a new recipe recently introduced to me that will perfectly fit those autumnal menus.

Last week our small group had a fellowship dinner. We decided the theme would be Breakfast for supper. A couple of our dear friends from out of town were going to be here to join us and she wanted to make something to contribute to the meal. Her recipe was a hit with everyone! Cherry Coffee Cake was her recipe, and it tastes like a cross between a pastry and a cake. You could substitute another fruit topping, but I’m telling you that the cherry was so delicious! She was sweet enough to share her recipe with me! Thanks, Ellen!

Easy Pumpkin Banana Coffee Cake

There’s nothing quite like getting home from a week away and being handed ready-homemade meals. That was my “welcome home” blessing from my girls this weekend. After being with my parents for eight days while my dad has been in the hospital (and now in rehab), I came home on Friday. My body, heart and emotions were spent, but I was so thankful I could be there to help. It’s a joy, and the Lord gave strength each step of the way.

Coming home was God’s timing, which made it especially sweet. Whitney was in Tennessee visiting her sister for 24 hours, so we all got to be together (another blessing!). Then before we parted, they handed me containers of food that they had prepared for us, to lighten my load! Supper/lunch meals consisting of a chicken casserole, salad, homemade bread, and chili. Then for breakfast, Pumpkin Banana Coffee Cake and bananas. I cried. How thoughtful. How appreciated! It truly touched my heart.
