Aunt Rika's Sour Cream Apple Nut Coffee Cake

Can you say scrumptious? This wonderful moist coffee cake remains on the top of my all time favorites. My husband likes it so much that it's what he asks for as his birthday cake. Yeah, that's a little weird, but am I going to argue with a delicious idea? Not a chance! It's layered and topped with a filling of diced apples, chopped walnuts, cinnamon, and sugar ... and makes your house smell divine. My apologies to the Yankee Candle Company - I don't need your apple cinnamon candle anymore.
