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

Cinnamon Coffee Cake Recipe
  • Prep: 20 min. Bake: 1 hour + cooling
  • Yield: 16-20 Servings
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
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

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.
  • Spoon a third of batter into a greased 10-in. tube pan. Combine cinnamon, nuts and remaining sugar; sprinkle a third over batter in pan. Repeat layers two more times. 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.

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.

My husband LOVED this recipe. He said it was the best coffee cake he's ever had hands down. I will definitely be making this 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!
