It’s always fun to try new recipes around the holiday season, and this one looks fantastic!
Sour Cream Coffee Cake
1 1/3 cups pastry (soft wheat) flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup thick dairy sour cream
1/4 cup lightly packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons finely chopped nuts
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease an 8-inch square cake pan thoroughly. Dust lightly with flour. Sift together pastry flour, baking powder and baking soda. Then blend together butter and sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy. Add sifted dry ingredients to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream. Combine lightly after each addition. Spread half the batter in a prepared pan. Sprinkle with half of a mixture of brown sugar, cinnamon and chopped nuts. Cover with remaining batter. Sprinkle with remainder of topping. Bake in 350F oven for 45 to 50 minutes. Serve warm. May be wrapped in foil and reheated. Makes one cake.
