Before starting to prep the cake batter, grease the bundt pan thoroughly with non-stick spray or butter to ensure the cake comes out easily.

To make the cake batter, first cream together the sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy. Then, add eggs and mix to combine well. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and baking powder. Add the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream and mix well between each addition.

Once batter is complete, mix together the cinnamon and sugar for the filling. Add half of the batter to the pan for half of the cake, then add the cinnamon sugar mixture and finally the rest of the cake batter and spread it evenly.

Bake coffee cake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Do not over bake to avoid drying out the cake. Let cool for about 20 minutes and then remove from the pan by flipping it over. Let cool completely and sprinkle with powdered sugar and if desired add fresh berries to the middle!
