Sour Cream Coffee Cake

I was looking for a nice classic coffee cake to take to some of our neighbors, since they have a very nice habit of bringing over tasty treats for us on occasion. I found this recipe on the King Arthur Flour website and it turned out great! A nice flavor, not overly sweet and it goes perfectly with a nice cup of coffee!

Ingredients

Cake

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sour cream or yogurt

Topping/Filling

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions
Cream together the butter or margarine, sugar & eggs. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda & salt. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the sour cream or yogurt, stirring after each addition.

Grease and flour a regular-sized (9 1/2-inch) tube pan or bundt-style pan, or a 9 x 9-inch pan. Spread half the batter in the pan & sprinkle with half the topping mixture. Repeat with remaining batter & topping.

Bake the coffeecake in a preheated 350°F oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cake tests done. Cool it for 10 to 15 minutes, then remove it from the pan & serve.
Yield: about 12 generous servings.
