This coffee cake is a throwback to a Betty Crocker recipe. We've updated it with cardamom for a touch of the exotic. And we've used Kinloch Pecan Oil in place of the canola. The pecan oil gives the cake a denser crumb but it's all for the better. We love the texture of this cake, and the flavor is out of this world!
Filling Ingredients:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp ground Cardamom
1/2 tsp Vietnamese Cinnamon

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup all purpose flour

1 1/2 cups sour cream or Greek Yogurt
