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.

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!
