CINNAMON SWIRL BUNDT COFFEE CAKE
A friend of mine gave me this recipe years ago. Sometimes I lower the fat content by using fat-free sour cream or yogurt instead of the sour cream. Enjoy! This can also be made into small loaf cakes which can be frozen easily.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch bundt pan.

- Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the batter in the pan. Drop remaining cake batter in heaping spoonfuls over filling, covering it as best you can.

APPLE SPICE CINNAMON SWIRL COFFEE CAKE
If you love cinnamon and apples, then this coffee cake is for you. It smells heavenly while baking. Starting with a spiced cake mix and apple muffin mix makes this easy to make and creates a yummy flavor combination. It's full of cinnamon and apples in every bite. This is a dense cake-like most coffee cakes, but very moist too....

Steps:
- 1. For Cake: Sift together all the dry ingredients several times - cake and muffin mix, instant coffee, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- 2. In stand mixer, using paddle, starting on slow speed blend dry ingredients with eggs (one at a time).
- 3. Add yogurt, milk, oil. Blend on medium speed for 2-3 minutes.
- 4. Add apples and nuts. Blend a few more minutes until all ingredients are incorporated scraping the sides often.

- 7. Dollop cinnamon swirl onto the batter 2 tablespoons at a time.
- 8. With a knife, gently swirl the cinnamon through being careful not to touch the bottom. NOTE: I learned the hard way, it sticks to the bottom and cake is difficult to get out.
- 9. BAKE @ 350 for how however many minutes, depending on size pan. For the mini loaf pans, it took 30-33 minutes. It also depends on your oven. Test Kitchen Note: It took 40 minutes for our 9x13 pan.
