Make-Ahead Sour Cream Coffee Cake
Feast your eyes on this cozy slice of heaven!

This delightful coffee cake is perfect for any occasion, whether you’re prepping for a fancy brunch or just want a delicious excuse to have cake for breakfast. Here’s what you’ll need:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- ½ cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup of sour cream
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder
- ½ teaspoon of baking soda
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- ¾ cup of chopped nuts (optional)
And here comes the best part—how to whip it all together!
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later. We want a smooth exit for our cake!
- In a large bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter until fluffy. This step is crucial because we want our cake to be light and airy, just like our dreams!
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, blend in the sour cream and vanilla extract. Get ready for a heavenly aroma to fill your kitchen!
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Don’t overmix, or our coffee cake might get an identity crisis!
- If you’re feeling nutty, fold in those chopped nuts for some added crunch. Yum!
- Transfer the batter to your prepared pan and smooth the top. Pop that beauty into the oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Time for a dance party while we wait!
- Once done, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack to cool completely. The hardest part? Waiting to dig in!
And there you have it! A scrumptious Make-Ahead Sour Cream Coffee Cake ready to impress. Perfect with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk and perfect for sharing with loved ones—if you’re feeling generous, that is!
