I've been looking for a good coffee cake recipe. I found this one at Taste of Home and tried it for Easter. I really like it because it's not too sweet, and it was very easy to prepare!  Go ahead, give it a try!

coffeecake

Ingredients
* 3/4 cup butter, softened
* 1 cup sugar
* 2 eggs
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
* 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
* 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
* 3 tablespoons milk

Directions
* In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, baking soda, nutmeg and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture alternately with sour cream. Spread into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
* In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, pecans and cinnamon; sprinkle over coffee cake. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
* Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Combine confectioners' sugar and milk; drizzle over warm coffee cake.

Here is the last kit I created for the NDIDDS Contest. Sorry I'm posting this so late, but wow! Last week was Busy wasn't it? Between the contest, and Easter, and everything else! Crazy Good!  So anyway, you can head over to the Designs in Digital website and download a free copy of this kit, as well as the other designer's kits.  It was such a fun contest and I learned SO MUCH! If you are at all interested in digital scrapbooking I highly recommend this site and especially trying your hand in the contest next year!

My last kit is, "Grandma's House"
