Description

This classic Sour Cream Coffee Cake is the ultimate comfort dessert, featuring a incredibly moist and tender crumb balanced by a sweet, crunchy cinnamon-sugar topping. The sour cream ensures the batter stays rich and velvety, while the layer of spiced nuts and sugar provides a delightful textural contrast in every bite. It is perfect for weekend brunches, afternoon coffee breaks, or as a sweet ending to a holiday meal. Simple to make with pantry staples, this bake is forgiving and reliable, making it a favorite for home bakers of all skill levels. Serve it warm with a cup of coffee or tea for a truly satisfying treat that brings home-style flavor to your table.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
  2. Grease a 10-inch tube pan or bundt pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  3. In a small bowl, combine chopped nuts, ground cinnamon, and 3/4 cup of sugar to make the crumb topping. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, beat softened butter and remaining 3/4 cup sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in sour cream and vanilla extract.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
  7. Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and beat on low speed just until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  8. Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  9. Sprinkle half of the nut-cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter.
  10. Spread the remaining batter over the topping, then sprinkle with the remaining nut mixture.
  11. Bake for 60 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake pulls away slightly from the sides of the pan.
  12. Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from pan to cool completely before serving.
