      Hi Allan, Thanks for the inquiry. The “PRINT” button is located below the RATE THIS RECIPE feature in the top right corner under the recipe image. Happy baking!

  • Monique says:

    Could this be made with flour if you don’t have (Swansdown)cake flour

    • Swans Down says:

      Hi Monique, Yes you can use all purpose flour in this recipe. Please note that 1 cup and 2 tablespoons of Swans Down Cake Flour is equivalent to 1 cup all purpose flour. Happy baking!

  • Barbara says:

    I don’t have a springform pan – could it be made in a Bundt pan or square cake pan?

    • Swans Down says:

      Hi Barbara, You can certainly use either a Bundt or a square baking pan. Be sure to butter and flour, especially the Bundt, for easy release from the pan. Happy Baking!

  • Pat says:

    Can you omit the sour cream?

    • Swans Down says:

      Hi Pat, The sour cream, or an ingredient of the kind, is necessary for this recipe. You can substitute the sour cream with 2/3 cup yogurt, buttermilk or whole milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Happy Baking!

  • Goy says:

    This cake’s named “Apple Streusel Coffee Cake”, but there isn’t any coffee appeared in the ingredients, or I misunderstood something. Just wondering since I’d love to try making one. Thanks.

    • Swans Down says:

      Hi Goy, We’re sorry for the confusion. This recipe is for Coffee Cake, a Cake you would enjoy with Coffee. Not necessarily a Cake made with Coffee. Happy Baking!

  • Millie Tyler says:

    My husband and I are enjoying the coffee cake. It’s delicious. I baked it almost the highest amount of time. I may have gotten it too brown but what’s not to love? Apples, pecans, cinnamon and butter is a recipe for success and nothing makes a cake softer and fluffier than Swans. The only thing I did different was use Zero brown and white sugars because my husband isn’t supposed to have sugar.

  • Romanetta Ferguson says:

    I will try this, as I love Swansdown and the cake looks good!

  • Cheryl Cano says:

    So good and easy. Baked it about 55 min.

  • DonnaBetcher says:

    Where can you find it not walMart Target not at home town market either

  • Janet says:

    I bake by weighing my ingredients. How much would your flour weigh in the streusel and in the cake? Thanks!

    • Swans Down says:

      Hi Janet, From our Consumer Affairs Manager;
      1/2 cup unsifted SD = 2.25 unsifted ounces
      2 cups sifted SD = 7 ounces sifted

  • Benita says:
