I bake this coffee cake for Carlos so he can have it for his breakfast while I am away. This coffee cake is buttery, cinnamon-y, tender, moist and smell heavenly when you bite into it. The best part of the cake is the cinnamon-y streusel inside and the crunchy streusel on top. It’s great with a cup of or coffee or tea.
Ingredients :
3/4 cup (1 1/2 stick) of butter
1 cup of sugar
2 1/2 cup of flour
2 tsp of baking powder
1/2 tsp of baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup of sour cream
4 eggs
1 tsp of vanilla
Streusel
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans
3 tbsp of butter
½ cup of flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp of cinnamon powder
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease and flour a baking pan.
2. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs 1 at a time, then add the vanilla and sour cream.
3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture to the batter until just combined. Finish stirring with a spatula to be sure the batter is completely mixed.
4. For the streusel, place the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and butter in a bowl and pinch together with your fingers until it forms a crumble. Mix in the walnuts.
5. Spoon half the batter into the pan and spread it out with a knife. Sprinkle with half of the streusel. Spoon the rest of the batter in the pan and top it with the rest of the streusel.
6. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.
Note : I used a bundt pan for this cake so I put half of the streusel at the bottom of the pan and the other half in the middle.

Sometimes I can't imagine such a cake to be moist...I guess I've eaten too much dry sponge cake with the same shape
I have to give it a try myself ^_^

Happy cook, Leemei, Donna, Kevin, thank you.
Rita, this cake is really moist especially with the sour cream.
Lesley, the key to this cake is the streusel. I did send in this pix to TS but nothing happen :( Maybe its not good enough for her.
Debbie, thank you :)
I grease my dark bundt pan with vegetable oil and dust it with flour. It leaves a thin layer of cake in the pan after I took the cake out. It looks like a giant donut instead of the bundt shape. I sprayed the pan with PAM and dust with flour. It came out hard on the surface that touches the pan. I tried a spray that has flour in it and I still can't get a good bundt shape. Any idea?
hi dear :
Have a lovely holiday .
will keep coming here to look for your up date gong xi fatt choy to you and your family :) xxxxx
Anon, the bundt pan I used is the non-stick kind and all I have to do is grease it with some butter. I didn't dust it with any flour.
Pearly, thank you. Gong Xi Fatt Chai to you and your family too.
Thanks for the tip with the bundt pan. Have a great trip!

Nazarina, thank you.
Jamie, thank you for your kind comment. Hope you like this cake.
This recipe calls for salt when putting the ingredients together, but there is no salt listed in the ingredient list. How much salt for the cake? How much for the streusel?
Amy, thanks for pointing it out. I already add into the ingredients list.
