  1. Sour Cream coffee cakes are my all favourite and this one looks like a winner!!! So pretty baked in a spring form pan.

  2. If I use fresh peaches could I get back on the sugar?

    1. You could try cutting back on the sugar especially if your fresh peaches are quite sweet although I didn't find this cake overly sweet.

  3. Is it Peach time? I've seen the hard-as-a-rock US peaches but not Canadian yet. When they do come in, I like to slice them and freeze for some day in January when I'm feeling sorry for myself. Best pick-me-up ever!

    1. June in Canada..as long as the texture of the yogurt is the same as sour cream I'm sure it would work.
