Sour Cream Coffee Cake
Description
A classic Bundt coffee cake with a tender, moist sour cream crumb and a hidden swirl of cinnamon, sugar, and chopped nuts running through the middle. Layer the filling and batter twice in the pan, bake for an hour, and invert. Simple, time-honored, and the kind of thing Granny Buras brought to every gathering.

Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a Bundt pan.

-
Add flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix until just combined.
-
Fold in sour cream.
-
Mix together chopped nuts, cinnamon, and sugar for the filling.
-
Pour ½ of the filling mixture into the bottom of the Bundt pan. Place pan in oven for 1 minute, then remove.
-
Pour half the cake batter over the filling. Add the remaining filling mixture. Pour remaining batter on top.
-
Bake at 350°F for 1 hour.
-
Let cool 10 minutes in the pan, then invert onto a serving plate.
Note
Do not overbeat after adding the eggs — overmixing makes the crumb tough. Stir just until combined.
