Time 1h40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup sugar
3 packed tablespoons dark brown sugar

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until incorporated. Mix the vanilla with the sour cream. Add the flour mixture in 3 parts to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream in 2 parts until just combined.

Scatter the remaining streusel over the top of the batter. Bake the coffee cake for 1 hour and about 10 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool on a rack for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use softened butter for a light and fluffy cake. Softened butter is easier to cream with the sugar, resulting in a smoother batter.
  • Don’t overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a bundt pan for a classic coffee cake shape. A bundt pan allows for even baking and creates a beautiful presentation.
  • Use fresh sour cream for the best flavor. Fresh sour cream will give your cake a tangy and creamy flavor.
  • Don’t overbake the cake. Overbaking can result in a dry cake. Bake the cake just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Dust the cake with powdered sugar before serving. Powdered sugar adds a touch of sweetness and elegance to the cake.
