Grab your favorite coffee or tea and prepare to enjoy a slice of this amazing Nutella Sour Cream Coffee Cake.  Remember back in the late 1980s or early 90s some company made a boxed “tunnel of fudge” cake mix?  Ironically it was a favorite at both my house growing up as well as my husbands.  This coffee cake?  Totally reminds me of it!  Only instead of boring ‘ol fudge, the tunnel inside this coffee cake is of Nutella and chopped hazelnuts.  If you can stop yourself at just one slice, I bow down to your willpower.
