Sour Cream Coffee Cake

When I am with family, especially for a food centered gathering like Thanksgiving, I always try to bring a few foods that I can share with everyone else. This cake is one of my FAVORITES. Also… just so you know, Coffee cake is a cake eaten with coffee, NOT necessarily a cake made with coffee…

Ingredients:

• 8 TBSP butter (or earth balance)- room temperature
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/8th tsp salt
• 1/3 cup flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 TBSP butter (or earth balance)
• 1 tsp cinnamon

Directions:

• Cream the butter, sugar, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla. Slowly mix in the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, butter and cinnamon until well combined.
• Pour half the cake batter in a baking pan then sprinkle with half the sugar and cinnamon mixture.
• Spoon the remaining cake batter on top of the cinnamon sugar layer then finish it off by sprinkling more of the cinnamon sugar layer on top.
• Bake at 350*F for 35-40 minutes until cooked through.

This one is on my to do list for tomorrow night so I’ll post the picture then 🙂
