This is the Ultra Moist Sour Cream Coffee Cake recipe featuring a double layer of rich cinnamon streusel topping and a simple vanilla glaze. This cake is perfect for cozy weekend brunches or a delightful morning treat.

Ingredients

  • All-Purpose Flour
  • Baking Powder
  • Baking Soda
  • Salt
  • Unsalted Butter, softened
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Large Eggs
  • Sour Cream
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Ground Cinnamon (for streusel)
  • Brown Sugar (for streusel)
  • Chopped Pecans or Walnuts (optional for streusel)
  • Powdered Sugar (for glaze)
  • Milk or Water (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven and prepare your cake pans.
  2. Whisk together the dry ingredients for the cake batter.
  3. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the sour cream to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Prepare the cinnamon streusel topping by combining brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, and melted butter until crumbly.
  7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with half of the streusel mixture.
  8. Top with the remaining batter, then sprinkle with the remaining streusel.
  9. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool the cake completely on a wire rack.
  11. Prepare the simple glaze by whisking powdered sugar and a small amount of milk or water until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.

Notes

  • Using room temperature sour cream helps the batter mix smoothly.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added to keep the cake tender.
  • For an extra layer of flavor, sprinkle a thin layer of cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter before adding the final streusel.
  • This cake keeps well stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to three days.
