Sour Cream Coffee Cake
My favorite Sour Cream Coffee Cake is so moist and buttery, with a cinnamon streusel layer in the middle and on top, and drizzled with a sweet glaze.

STREUSEL
- To a small mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt and butter. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your hands, mix until it forms pea-sized clumps. Refrigerate.
CAKE
- To a small mixing bowl, add dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt), and whisk to combine. Set aside for now.
- In large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in one egg at a time. Beat in vanilla extract.
- Add 1/3 of the flour mixture. Beat together. Add in 1/3 of the sour cream. Beat together. Continue these steps two more times until everything is incorporated and blended well.
- Add half the cake batter to prepared pan, spreading evenly. Add half the refrigerated streusel, spreading in an even layer.
- Top with remaining cake batter, then last half of the streusel on top.
- Bake for about 55 minutes. The top should be golden brown and when a toothpick is inserted into the center, it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and let cool on wire rack.
GLAZE
- While your cake cools, make your glaze by whisking together the milk and sugar.
- Drizzle with desired amount of glaze and enjoy.
Notes
- Recipe has only been tested using full-fat dairy products.
- When spreading cake batter over the streusel, I find it easiest to drop by the spoonful, then use an offset spatula to gently spread.
