McCormick’s Cinnamon Sour Cream Coffee Cake

McCormick recently contacted me and asked if I would like to try a few of their recipes and share them (along with an upcoming giveaway) with my readers. When I saw the words “Cinnamon Sour Cream Coffee Cake“, it was very easy to say “yes!” There is just something SO amazing about the scent of cinnamon anything baking in the oven, and who doesn’t love starting the day with a nice slice of coffee cake?

The great thing about this recipe is how easy it is. I don’t tend to make coffee cakes, as they are usually a bit more work than I usually want to put out, but not this one. With the help of a white cake mix, this coffee cake comes together in no time.

This is a perfect dish for a brunch or even just a delicious weekend treat. It’s easy enough that you could bake it in the morning, but it’s also great prepared ahead of time as well. It’s a breakfast like this that makes that 5am toddler wake up call a little less painful on a Sunday morning. Here is what you need to bake up your own Cinnamon Sour Cream Coffee Cake…

McCormick Cinnamon Sour Cream Coffee Cake

Cinnamon Crumb Topping:

1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
4 teaspoons McCormick® Cinnamon, Ground
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted

1 egg
1 cup sour cream
