SOUR CREAM COFFEE CAKE - MY FAVORITE!

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• 2. Prepare a tube pan by buttering it and dusting it with flour.
• 3. In a medium mixing bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• 4. Cream together butter and sugar until well mixed.
• 5. Add one egg at a time mixing as you go.
• 6. Add vanilla and mix.
• 7. In a medium bowl, mix together sour cream and baking soda.
• 8. Alternate adding the flour mixture...
• 9. Then the sour cream mixture mixing well in between until all wet and dry ingredients are mixed in.
• 10. In a small bowl, mix the chopped walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon.
• 11. Spread about two-thirds of the cake batter in the prepared tube pan.
• 12. Sprinkle half of the walnut mixture on top of the batter.
• 13. Spread the remaining cake batter on top of the walnut mixture.
• 14. Add the rest of the walnut mixture on top of the batter. Bake on the center shelf of the oven for one hour. Check it with a toothpick. If it comes out clean it's done; if it needs a little more time try 5 mins.
• 15. Cool on a rack in the pan for 15 minutes.
• 16. It's coated with sugar so it's tricky to take out of the pan without messing up the countertop. Use a cookie sheet or large plate to turn it out. Then cool slightly and turn it over again onto the large plate for storing or serving.
