Our Favorite Sour Cream Coffee Cake

Super tender and moist cake. This is not the large crumb topping of my favorite coffee cakes but this cinnamony version did not disappoint. I added a teaspoon vanilla to the batter and used half brown half white sugar. I also subbed creme fraiche for sour cream which perhaps made it more delicate, as it was quite crumbly on the plate. The center layer and topping is a simple mixture of cinnamon, pecans, sugar and vanilla - no butter.
