Notes

Left Field Farm Vanilla coffee creamer already has vanilla and sugar in it. If you choose to go with another flavor then add 1 teaspoon vanilla to the cake batter.

Substitute for the creamer -

You may substitute creamer with full fat i.e whole milk and add ¼th cup extra sugar for the cake. Please add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract too.

For the glaze substitute creamer with milk too.

Sub sour cream with thick yogurt and 1 teaspoon lemon juice.

Expert Tip -

The batter is thicker as compared to other cake batters. This is mainly to keep the middle streusel layer from sinking to the bottom.
Simply blob the batter in the pan and spread it with a spatula evenly.
