Sour Cream Coffee Cake

Next to apple pie, this is probably one of my favorite recipes to make and take to special events or while hosting a party in my home. It's very simple and although it's extremely unhealthy, it's so good for the soul while you are eating it!!


2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 ounces sour cream (1 cup)

Topping:
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Into a medium bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder.
In another mixing bowl cream together butter with sugar until fluffy and light; add egg and vanilla and mix well. Add half of the dry ingredients, mixing just until flour is blended. Blend in sour cream then stir in remaining dry ingredients.

Spread half of batter lightly into a greased 9 x 13 pan. Sprinkle half of topping and spread with remaining batter. Sprinkle with remaining topping. Bake at 325 for 40 to 45 minutes.

Enjoy and then make sure you fast the next day :)
