Sourdough Coffee Cake

This is to die for. "Cake" is what should stand out in the title... not so much "coffee cake." After all, don't we call "coffee cake" just that because we need to have an excuse to eat cake for breakfast? This is delicious, easy, inexpensive. I make it for Sunday morning breakfast (make the streusel topping the night before; feed your starter the night before).
