I love making coffee cake, especially when I have house guests. The excuse that a cake can be served in the morning or at night, makes it ideal to have on hand for any time of day. This coffee cake is extremely easy and super moist using ingredients you probably already have on hand. And because you can use a Bundt pan, it looks extra fancy without any extra work. Bonus.
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup butter or margarine, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup KNUDSEN Sour Cream
- Filling:
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- ⅓ cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease 12-cup fluted tube pan or 10-inch tube pan. Set aside.
- In large bowl, beat granulated sugar, softened butter and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add to sugar mixture alternately with sour cream, beating until well blended after each addition.
- For topping, mix pecans, brown sugar and cinnamon. Spoon half of the pecan mixture into greased pan and top with half of the cake batter, dropping by large spoonfuls and gently spreading throughout pan. (Batter will be thick.) Repeat layers.
- Bake 55 minutes to 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Cool 10 minutes on wire rack.
- Loosen cake from side of pan with spatula or knife before inverting cake onto wire rack to cool completely.

The brown sugar mixture creates a nice coating for the top but I love to include powdered sugar to give it a very finished and classy look!
The filling is not overpowering but gives a sweet and little bit crunchy surprise. Yum!

YUM! That looks delicious. Thanks for sharing, Emilie.
I so wish you could come over Kate and have a slice and a cup of coffee with me!
Oh, this sounds so good!!! I must try this if I have time this weekend (soccer tournament – now I am thinking boo!). I have been craving cinnamon everything lately and was just thinking earlier that a coffee cake sounded good!
Oh wow, that looks like such a moist cake. It’s funny, I have a pan like that but I never use it for anything but monkey bread. I need to give this one a try.
Wow. I wish I could make this right now! Thanks for posting. Looks yummy!

REAL HOMEMADE???? It’s 3 AM, I am starved and I just happened to go to this post. Girl, this would be an amazing Sunday morning breakfast “cake”. I have waited for over 30 years for a bundt cake pan…have asked for it to be a gift. Guess what I am gonna buy myself tomorrow? I know the whole family will enjoy this and I also will take note of Cat’s monkey bread reference. I know she knows what she is doing in the kitchen too, so am going over to her blog to find that recipe as well. Thanks so much for the recipe and pictures of what it is SUPPOSED to look like,…I really appreciate the pictures a lot when looking over recipe posts!
that looks so good!
This will be a perfect Fall time recipe…
Many thanks, Cindi
This looks amazing! Super moist….sometimes when I bake in my bunt pan it gets really dry. I will have to try this!!
Wow that looks delicious! I will definitely have to try this recipe!
I never would have thought to add sour cream to a bread recipe like this! I’m so curious to try it, so I will bookmark the recipe. I actually have most of the ingredients to make this, but would have to get a new pan and some sour cream; otherwise, I’m all set!
Bundt cakes are always fabulous and this one is perfect
for breakfast/anytime…
Many thanks, Cindi

WHERE’S MY COFFEE AND CUT ME A BIG OL’ SLICE! mmmmmmmmmmm I swear I can smell it………………. Thanks for sharing!
Oh that looks so good!!!! I recently found a gluten free flour that I can use cup per cup instead of regular flour. I am going to have to try this with my gluten free flour! Looks so yummy!!! I have not had anything like this since I was diagnosed with Celiac disease about 6 years ago! LOL…going to give it a try!
this looks SO GREAT!. I printed it out and can not wait to give it a try.

Oh my that looks good! I spend Christmas day at my in-law’s and I think this would be the perfect thing to bring. I’m the family baker and I try to make it something new each year.
Looks so yummy! Thank you for the recipe.
My mom made wonderful cakes with sour cream, and this looks like a really good recipe to try. I’m very fond of them and want to make this – soon!!!
