A warm coffee cake with a cup of coffee–why of course you can! This Coffee Cake uses unfed sourdough starter in the batter which gives a delicious flavor and texture. Serve this cake with Vanilla Syrup for a delicious THM E.

Sourdough is so versatile and adds a wonderful texture and flavor to baked items. If you have never used sourdough and would like to try it, read this blog post. There are a few articles about sourdough, how to make a starter, understanding the ingredient to use, ect on this blog post. You can make breads, doughnuts, pancakes, waffles, crackers, and much more with a jar of bubbling starter. The jar of starter pictured below is at least 7 years old. I have given/sent over 1600 small jars to people to start their own sourdough journey. If you would like a small jar of starter, please pm me on my Facebook Page.

• I have successfully used sprouted flour in this coffee cake. I mixed 3/4 cup sprouted flour. You do not need to ferment the batter if you use sprouted flour. The coffee cake can be mixed and baked right away.
