We use the traditional Hanukkah latke topping of applesauce to add fruity moisture to this low-fat coffee cake. It's got a lot of flavor thanks to the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and sour cream. The best part is you don't even need an electric mixer or any other fancy equipment to make it. All you have to do is gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined. After letting the cake bake about 40 minutes, be sure to let it cool before slicing. We know it's hard to resist diving into it right away, but it needs a little bit of time to set so the slices stay together.
