Coffee Cake Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon iodized salt
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup regular sour cream

Coffee Cake Topping Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit and grease a 9×9″ baking pan.

  3. Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Add the sour cream.

  5. In a separate small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, and nuts for the topping.
  6. Spread 1/2 of the batter into the baking pan and spread it by hand so that it covers the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle 1/2 of the brown sugar topping over the top, then spread the remaining batter over the sugar layer. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 of the sugar mixture over the top.
