I first saw this recipe on Edith of Precious Moments and its was well raved by the others, then i saw it on DG of Tested and Tasted and then i saw it again on Bee of Honey Bee Sweets with raves from them as well, i decided to put my hands to it, then came the most irritating thing, i couldn't get sour cream i almost gave up doing it, then i decided to use Greek Yogurt as the substitute for sour cream, the results? see it for yourself!
Just look at the gorgeous golden brown color of the crust... could you even resist eating this?
Just look at the texture of the inside.... woah its soft beyond words, just look at the crumbs.... its really super delicious, divine taste... now i'm not sure what is the magical ingredient for making this so soft.. those who had tried this says it the sour cream but because i'm not using sour cream i couldn't comment on that hmmm so could it be the ground almonds? highly possible me thinks =D
P.S i quadruple the recipe and baked into the night and finally ending at 2am.... so i guess you must be thinking i'm seriously crazy right haha!
