Coffee Cake

 Dear Readers,

I have a pot of coffee brewing and the windows open to have fresh air in the house for when my husband gets home from work. The birds are beginning to return from their winter trip and it has been such a blessing to hear them praise the Lord throughout the day! I thought I would sit down for a few minuets to post the coffee cake recipe that I promised on the last post.

SOUR CREAM COFFEE CAKE

Ingredients:

3 C. Flour

1 C. Softened Butter

1 Tsp. Baking Powder

1 Tsp. Salt

1 C. Sour Cream

1/2 Tsp. Baking Soda

1 1/2 C. Sugar

3 Eggs

2 Tsp. Vanilla

Sugar and cinnamon to sprinkle between layers.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a tube pan. In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream and baking soda. In a mixer, beat butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. ( You can never have to much vanilla! ;)) Add flour in 3 additions, alternating with the sour cream mixtures in 2 additions, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Use some of the sugar and cinnamon for the bottom of the pan. This is to avoid the cake making to much of a mess when you flip it over. Spread 1/3 of the batter. Sprinkle some of the sugar and  cinnamon  and then layer until you finish the batter, finishing with the last of the sugar and cinnamon. Cook for 60 minutes.

Serve warm with hot coffee and wonderful company!

I am not sure where I located this recipe but I have been making it for years and it has become a household favorite! I hope you all enjoy it as much as we do. Feel free to drop a comment!
