Flo's Cakes - Sour Cream Pumpkin Coffee Cake

Just yesterday I was making Flo's Lemon Raspberry Coffee Cake. This was the third time I made this recipe since I keep sharing it with others or taking it to a fellowship meal so there is barely any left for us! I was also cooking the first pumpkin of the season so had fall food on my mind. I started thinking about coffee cake infused with pumpkin and spice and wondering if Flo had a pumpkin coffee cake. 

Imagine my delight to check my email today and find this recipe from Flo. Mind reader! I can't wait to try it. I'm skipping out of my blogging vacation (I will be back to blogging! Promise. When I put away my pressure canner...)  so that you can try it too.

Thanks Flo, for delighting our taste buds again.
