How to Make Sour Cream Coffee Cake

This recipe is very simple to make but it will look like you spent a lot of time in the kitchen! You will need a hand mixer or stand mixer as well as a bundt pan for this recipe. 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.
