Jewish Coffee Cake

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch bundt or tube pan to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped nuts (if using). This will serve as the topping for your cake.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with half of the topping mixture. Then, pour the remaining batter on top and finish off with the remaining topping.
  7. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, slice and serve with your favorite beverage. Enjoy your homemade Jewish coffee cake!
