I have made this for years. Recently was asked for the recipe.........so thought I'd share it before I put it away again.....

Sour Cream Coffee Cake

Preheat oven 350 degrees. Generously spray bundt pan with Pam (or Baker's Joy)or other non-stick spray (for baking)

1 cup (2 sticks) margarine or butter, softened
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

1 8 oz. sour cream ( I used light, and it was still super moist)

2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder

Topping ingredients: (mix well and set aside)
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
2 Tbls. light brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Beat margarine and 1 1/2 cups of sugar together until fluffy. Beat in one egg at a time. Add vanilla and mix well. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking soda and baking powder.

Combine both bowls, and beat on low speed of mixer until blended. Using a spoon or very low speed, stir in the sour cream.

Making sure that your Bundt pan is sprayed with non-stick cooking spray........put half of batter in bottom of pan. Sprinkle half of topping mixture on top of batter. Add the other half of batter (spread it out to cover cinnamon mixture)....then add the rest of topping mixture.

Bake for 30-45 minutes, depending on your oven. When you press the top of the cake, it should "spring right back up" (you shouldn't see any "wet" ingredients.) and a toothpick or cake tester inserted in middle of cake, comes out clean.

Take out of oven and only let it sit for a couple of minutes before you turn it right out onto a cooloing rack. Let it cool, or dig in while its warm! Dee-lish!

This recipe has been in my family for years also--it is the best. I have never done the toppings

Uhh....










YUM !!!! I just got done making a Pineapple Upside Down cake for the first time, and it turned out de-lish!

just put mine in the oven! thanks! sounds yummy!

Sounds good, I will have to go an buy a bundt pan.......Thanks

Oh my! This is a recipe I will definitely have to try!

Thanks! My Mom has made it since I was little. Glad you like it! It's definately worth trying......and not hard to make.

I made it when I got home from work and the family loved it! Thank you so much :o)

I'm sure you can just use an 8-inch square pan. Maybe just put all the batter on the bottom (but spray the pan really well first).....then put all of the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture on top. It might bake faster too, so keep an eye on it. AS SOON AS A TOOTHPICK COMES OUT CLEAN, TAKE IT OUT.

Can't wait to make this...now just need to get a bundt pan, any deals?? Thanks for sharing!

Jo-Ann's has some and if you use the coupons they always have out, the pans are a LITTLE less expensive!
