Ingredients
Cinnamon-Sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Cake
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Make the Cinnamon-Sugar:
- Add both ingredients to a small bowl and stir to combine.
Make the Coffee Cake:
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Spray a 12-cup Bundt pan very well with cooking spray and add about 1/3 cup of the cinnamon-sugar to the pan. Carefully roll the cinnamon-sugar around the pan, getting it into all the nooks and crannies, so the pan is well coated in cinnamon-sugar; set both the Bundt pan and remaining cinnamon-sugar aside.
- To a large bowl, add the butter, sugar, and cream (beat) on high speed with a handheld electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, vanilla, and beat on high speed to combine. Scrape down the sides of the bowl if necessary.
- Add the sour cream and beat on high speed to incorporate.
- Add the flour, baking soda, salt, and beat on low speed or mix by hand until incorporated; don't overmix or cake will be tough.
- Turn half the batter out into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula. Tip - Make sure you don't add more than half; novice bakers tend to underestimate how much batter they're adding and the problem is that you then don't have sufficient batter to properly complete the cake. Set remaining batter aside.
- Evenly sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar over the cake batter. It may look like a lot but it melts into the batter/cake while baking.
- Turn the remaining cake batter out over the cinnamon-sugar layer, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
- Bake for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs but no batter. Since all ovens, pans, climates, etc. are different, I recommend starting to check on the cake at the 30 to 35-minute mark, and keep a close eye on it from there until it's done; don't overbake or it will be dry. Watch your cake and not the clock and if it takes a bit less or longer for your cake to be sufficiently baked than my baking time estimates, do what is needed for your cake.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 20 minutes before inverting it onto a serving platter and serving.
Notes
- Cake will keep airtight at room temp for up to 5 days.
