Time 3h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
1 cup butter
1 ½ cups white sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
1 cup chopped walnuts
¾ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
  • Beat the butter and 1 1/2 cups of sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add the room-temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Beat in the vanilla with the last egg. Pour in the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream, mixing until just incorporated.
  • Mix walnuts, 3/4 cup of sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl. Fold half of the walnut mixture into the batter; mixing just enough to evenly combine. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, then sprinkle the remaining walnut mixture on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

This coffee cake was a huge disappointment. It was dry, bland, and the topping was too thick.

I've never been a fan of coffee cake, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so moist and flavorful, I can't get enough of it.

This coffee cake is the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The cinnamon-sugar topping is the perfect finishing touch.

I made this coffee cake for my Jewish grandmother and she said it reminded her of the ones she used to make. That's a sign of a great recipe!

This recipe is a keeper! The crumbly topping and moist cake were perfect together. I'll definitely be making this again.

This coffee cake was a hit at my brunch party! It was moist, flavorful, and had the perfect amount of sweetness. My guests raved about it and asked for the recipe.
