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.

Ingredients
    Cake
  • 2 Cups Flour
  • 1 Cup Margarine
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 Cups Sugar
  • 1 Cup Sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp. Vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp. Salt
  • 1 tsp. Baking powder
    • Filling
  • 1 Cup Chopped nuts
  • 2 tsp. Cinnamon
  • 4 tsp. Sugar
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
  2. 2
    Cream sugar and margarine together well. Add eggs and vanilla. DO NOT OVERBEAT.
  3. 3
    Add flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix until just combined.
  4. 4
    Fold in sour cream.
  5. 5
    Mix together chopped nuts, cinnamon, and sugar for the filling.
  6. 6
    Pour ½ of the filling mixture into the bottom of the Bundt pan. Place pan in oven for 1 minute, then remove.
  7. 7
    Pour half the cake batter over the filling. Add the remaining filling mixture. Pour remaining batter on top.
  8. 8
    Bake at 350°F for 1 hour.
  9. 9
    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.
