Ingredients

• For the Streusel:
• - 1 cup all-purpose flour
• - 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• - 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• For the Cake:
• - 2 cups all-purpose flour
• - 1 teaspoon baking powder
• - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• - 1/2 teaspoon salt
• - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• - 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• - 2 large eggs
• - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• - 1 cup sour cream
• For the Glaze:
• - 1 cup powdered sugar
• - 2 tablespoons milk
• - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch bundt pan. Set aside.
2. To make the streusel, in a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. If desired, mix in the chopped nuts. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
6. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
7. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan. Sprinkle with half of the streusel mixture. Spoon the remaining cake batter over the streusel layer and smooth the top. Sprinkle the remaining streusel mixture evenly over the batter.
8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
11. Slice and serve the sour cream coffee cake. Enjoy!
