Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to get your bake on:

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
1 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

Let’s make this magic happen, y’all! Follow these steps to create your masterpiece:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
One by one, beat in the eggs, ensuring each one is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Alternate adding the flour mixture and sour cream to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined; don’t overmix!
In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped nuts (if you’re using them). This will be your delicious swirl.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle half of the brown sugar mixture over the top, then add the remaining batter. Finally, top it off with the rest of the brown sugar swirl mixture.
Use a knife to gently swirl the brown sugar into the batter. Bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let it cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature!

There you have it! A foolproof Coffee Cake recipe that’s just begging for a slice. Enjoy it with your favorite coffee, and don’t forget to share with family and friends because this treat is too good to keep to yourself. Happy baking!
