Sour Cream Coffee Cake

On Monday I made sour cream scones and they were all gone the same day! However, I had some sour cream left and I felt like baking again, so yesterday I tried this simple recipe for coffee cake.

I wish it didn’t turn out so good! You see I’m trying to lose weight, but I couldn’t resist having couple pieces of this delicious dessert with a cup of cappuccino. And that doesn’t help to lose weight at all.



1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Topping:
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, sour cream and vanilla; mix well. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture and beat until combined.

Pour half the batter into a greased (I lined mine with parchment paper) 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle about 3/4 of topping over batter. Add remaining batter and topping.

Bake at 325 degrees F for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
