Step-by-Step Instructions for Sour Cream Coffee Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch metal pan with unsalted butter.
- In a small bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt for the cinnamon swirl filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream softened unsalted butter with both sugars until light and fluffy (3-5 minutes).
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition to achieve a smooth batter.
- Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract until combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Spread slightly less than half of the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle with the cinnamon mixture.
- Top with the remaining batter, smoothing it out evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix together streusel topping ingredients until crumbly and sprinkle evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes, then cut into squares to serve warm or at room temperature.
