A variation of my classic coffee cake, this sour cream coffee cake uses sour cream for a moist, tender crumb and great depth of flavor. It's sweetened with a cinnamon sugar ripple and a decadent (but easy) streusel topping. The vanilla glaze on top is optional, but you already know how I feel about a little extra sugar 😉

What sets my chocolate pancake recipe apart from many others is that it has a distinct chocolate taste without the need for a ganache topping, though you could certainly add one. It works amazingly paired with whipped cream and berries (I suggest you save your maple syrup for pumpkin pancakes!), but really, these pancakes taste amazing on their own too!

Syrup being poured over a buttered stack of sourdough pancakes.


One of my greatest gripes when I started dabbling with sourdough bread was the waste. Since I use my sourdough starter often, I'm discarding half of it daily. And, being the queen of never-throwing-things-away (just ask Zach how much he loves this aspect of my personality), I immediately dove into the world of sourdough discard recipes, determined that half of my well-tended starter not end up in the trash bin. The very first recipe I tackled was these sourdough pancakes and ooh they were just too good not to share.]]>
