I love the excellent texture of this old-fashioned streusel-topped coffee cake. Always a crowd-pleaser, its pleasing vanilla flavor enriched by sour cream may remind you of breakfast at Grandma's! —Eleanor Harris, Cape Coral, Florida

20 60 80

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2-3/4 cups sugar, divided
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (16 ounces) sour cream

Directions

  • In a large bowl, cream butter and 2 cups sugar until light fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; add alternately with sour cream, beating just enough after each addition to keep batter smooth.

Bake at 350° for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Yield: 16-20 servings.

I baked this cake in a 13x9 pan for about 50mins. and it came out moist and delicous. However I did monitor this and made sure that the cake was evenly brown & toothpick in the center came out clean:-)

Meghannm,

How long do you bake this coffee cake using a 13x9 pan?

Meghann,

How long do you bake this coffee cake when making it in a 9x13 pan. I am assuming it may take less time??

Meghannm,

When you make this coffee cake in a 9x13 pan, how long do you bake it for. I want to make it for a youth Sunday School class and it was requested to make 9x13 pans.

Thanks, Ibel

One of my absolute favorites! A great trusted recipe that gets compliments every time. I make mine in a 9x13 and it comes out perfectly.

I did make some modifications to this recipe, but it still turned out delicious. I did not have all of the ingredients, nor do I own a tube pan. So I halved the recipe and baked it in an 8" square baking dish, and baked it for 30 minutes. Perfect!

I also altered some of the ingredients just slightly... used 3/4 sour cream and 1/4 plain Greek yogurt (because I didn't have the full amount of sour cream); I made the cinnamon topping without the nuts, and also did a white/brown sugar combo with the cinnamon.

The end result was all thumbs up for our family! It was a very rich and flavorful coffee cake. We'll be making this one again.

AWESOME CAKE!!! My best friend requests this cake all the time,so I wouldn't think of using another recipe.

I have made this probably a dozen times and it is wonderful every time. I tried it in a bundt pan and it seems to be a little dry so I will stick to the tube pan. My son made this for the Nebraska State Fair 4-H division when he was 13 and won a purple ribbon. I took it to our church quilting group last week and had several requests for the recipe. I also use a stand mixer which makes it very easy.

This is an awesome 'hits the spot' coffee cake. I had forgotten about this cake, I have the original mag and made it a few times back then. It is very delicious and easy to make. It is even easier if you have a stand mixer. I will make this again and again now that I found it again!

Delicious!! I made this with plain yogurt instead of sour cream. It was so moist. I did use the idea posted of using the stand up mixer and letting it whip the butter, sugar and eggs. Very good!

Expecting something spectacular after all the rave reviews. Not really worth all the extra fat/calories.

Incredible, absolutely outstanding recipe--my favourite coffee cake to date, and by a vast margin! It whips up both fast and easily if you have a stand mixer, bakes light and high, and has a delicate, moist crumb with a delightful cinnamon flavour that permeates the entire cake. This will definitely be my 'go-to' coffee cake from now on!

I have very fond memories of this recipe! I remember it being in one of the very first TOH issues. I tried it out at home first, which won rave reviews, and then I made it again and entered it at the 1993 Cowley County Fair in Kansas in the Intermediate Foods Division. It won me a grand champion ribbon!! Years later, I still enjoy making this coffee cake and especially enjoy having it around Christmas time. I would like to thank Eleanor Harris for submitting this recipe when she did!
