Coffee Cake

Coffee cake..... gotta love it. Even if it is a bit misleading, I mean it rarely has coffee in it, but nomenclature is often confusing, no matter the field.

Cinnamon Swirl Sour Cream Coffee Cake
1/2 cup butter, soft
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 t vanilla extract
3 cups flour
1 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
1 lb sour cream (small container)

Cinnamon sugar: mix 1/2 cup sugar with 1 1/2 t cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350F. Cream butter and sugar. Add in eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition. Stir in the vanilla. Sift (yes, really sift it, or at least whisk them really well together) the flour, powder and soda. Alternately add 1/3 dry mix, 1/3 sour cream and so on....

Prepare (butter & flour or use baking spray) a 9"x13" pan. Sprinkle a thin coat of cinnamon sugar on the bottom of the pan. Add 1/2 the batter to the pan, liberally sprinkle with cinnamon sugar(most of it should go here), then add remaining batter and top with cinnamon sugar.

Bake 40-45 minutes at 350F, until toothpick comes out clean. Moist and delicious!
