Streusel Coffee Cake

This is a simple cake that is great for breakfast and brunches. I think it tastes best when warm from the oven and accompanied with a mug of coffee.

Ingredients:
1 cup butter (room temperature)
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs (room temperature)
2 cups sour cream (I used light sour cream)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 10 inch Bundt pan with Pam for Baking. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and baking soda together and set aside. In a separate bowl combine the 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon and nuts. Set aside.

In a large bowl or mixer, cream butter and 2 cups white sugar until light and fluffly.

Add eggs, sour cream and vanilla extract and mix till combined.

Add flour mixture and beat until well combined. Pour half of batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Sprinkle half of the nut mixture on top of the batter in the pan.

Add remaining batter and sprinkle with the last of the nut mixture.

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into cake come out clean. I needed to bake my cake for about 75 minutes.

Cool pan on wire rack for 15 minutes, remove from pan. Continue to cool cake on wire rack. I sprinkled my warm cake with powdered sugar and served. Overall this is a satisfying cake, however I am not convinced this is the best recipe for Streusel Coffee Cake.
