Sour Cream Coffee Cake

This Old Fashioned Coffee Cake was grandmother's favorite to make, and always brought smiles to everyone who was able to enjoy it.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CAKE:
  • 1 cup butter softened (2 sticks)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups flour
  • FOR THE CINNAMON/NUT STREUSEL:
  • 1 cup chopped nuts I used pecans – walnuts work really well, too!
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
  • FOR THE SOUR CREAM GLAZE:
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and grease a bundt pan, set aside.
  • With a mixer, cream together butter, sugar and sour cream until fluffy.
  • Mix in beaten eggs and vanilla until combined.
  • Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt, and add to wet mixture, beating well.
  • Toss the ingredients for the Cinnamon Nut Streusel together and add 1/3 of the mixture to the prepared bundt pan. Top with 1/3 of the cake batter, and continue to alternate batter and streusel mixture, ending with batter.
  • Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Cool in cake pan for a few minutes before inverting onto a plate to cool the rest of the way.
  • Enjoy as is, or glaze with sour cream glaze, by mixing the glaze ingredients together until they are the desired thickness, and spooning over the cooled cake.
