For many years this has been one of my favorite coffee cakes because it is made with the finest ingredients: butter, sour cream, fresh eggs, vanilla and cinnamon, and walnuts. The aroma fills my house with a luscious scent. I feel like I've produced something incredible each time I bake it. My son has loved it since he was a small boy. It's a great gift for him as a birthday cake and he's almost 48 years old!
Blue Ribbon Recipe
What a great way to start the morning or end a meal! We loved this old-fashioned coffee cake recipe. It's made with simple ingredients and is delicious. The cake is tender and moist with a ribbon of cinnamon filling that runs in the middle of the cake. A bit of the cinnamon mixture is sprinkled on top, too, which adds just enough sweetness and keeps this from being a boring coffee cake. Pair with a steamy cup of coffee for a perfectly sweet treat.

How to Make Sour Cream Coffee Cake - My Favorite!
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare a tube pan by buttering it and dusting it with flour.
- In a medium mixing bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream together butter and sugar until well mixed.
- Add one egg at a time mixing as you go.
- Add vanilla and mix.
- In a medium bowl, mix together sour cream and baking soda.
- Alternate adding the flour mixture...
- Then the sour cream mixture mixing well in between until all wet and dry ingredients are mixed in.
- In a small bowl, mix the chopped walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon.
- Spread about two-thirds of the cake batter in the prepared tube pan.
- Sprinkle half of the walnut mixture on top of the batter.
- Spread the remaining cake batter on top of the walnut mixture.
- Add the rest of the walnut mixture on top of the batter. Bake on the center shelf of the oven for one hour. Check it with a toothpick. If it comes out clean it's done; if it needs a little more time try 5 mins.
- Cool on a rack in the pan for 15 minutes.
- It's coated with sugar so it's tricky to take out of the pan without messing up the countertop. Use a cookie sheet or large plate to turn it out. Then cool slightly and turn it over again onto the large plate for storing or serving.
