Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cup flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup butter (one stick)
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp vanilla

Filling

  • 1 tbsp butter, melted
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Whisk together dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Cut in butter with a pastry cutter (or two butter knives works as well).
  • Blend in eggs, beaten with sour cream. Mix well and set aside.
  • For the filling, in a small bowl, melt remaining butter (1 tablespoon).
  • Add in the rest of the ingredients: brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and vanilla. Combine all ingredients until it becomes a damp sand texture.
  • Spray a bundt pan (or your pan of choice) with cooking spray on all sides.
  • Pour ½ of your sour cream mixture into the bundt pan. Sprinkle with the filling then cover with the remaining batter.
  • Bake 40-50 minutes in a 350° oven, being sure not to overcook. The coffee cake should be browned on top and a toothpick should come out clean when inserted into the center of the cake.
  • Enjoy!
