Sour Cream Coffee Cake



This is the definitive Sour Cream Coffee Cake recipe I've been looking for.. It's perfect for having around the office, bringing to a party, or nibbling on at home.  The recipe is easy to make, and produces a delicious, traditional, moist, rich cake, with just the right streusel

Ingredients:
  • 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3
extra-large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups sour cream
  • 2 1/2 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

  • Instructions:
    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
    2. Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for 4 to 5 minutes, until light. 
    3. Add the eggs 1 at a time, then add the vanilla and sour cream. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. 
    4. With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture to the batter until just combined. Finish stirring with a spatula to be sure the batter is completely mixed.
    5. For the streusel, place the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and butter in a bowl and pinch together with your fingers until it forms a crumble. Mix in the walnuts, if desired.
    6. Spoon half the batter into the pan and spread it out with a knife. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup streusel. Spoon the rest of the batter in the pan, spread it out, and scatter the remaining streusel on top. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.
    7. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes. Carefully transfer the cake, streusel side up, onto a serving plate. 
    8. Whisk the confectioners' sugar and maple syrup together, adding a few drops of water if necessary, to make the glaze runny. 
    9. Drizzle as much as you like over the cake with a fork or spoon.
