CINNAMON SOUR CREAM COFFEE CAKE You will be placing this cake in a cold oven, then setting the oven to 350 degrees and baking for 55 minutes. You will need 9-inch greased tube pan. Beat until light and fluffy: 2 sticks of unsalted butter 1¼ cups of sugar 2 eggs Blend in: 1 cup of sour cream 2 cups of sifted flour ½ teaspoon of baking soda 1½ teaspoons of baking powder Add into butter mixture. Add: 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract Blend well. Spoon half the mixture into the tube pan (this batter will be thick), sprinkle half the nut mixture (below) over the batter. Then spoon the rest of the thick batter on top of that and top with remaining nut mixture. For the nut mixture, I use a small, hand, nut grinder: Grind 1 cup of finely chopped walnut meats and mix with 1¼ teaspoons of cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of sugar.
