Sour Cream Coffeecake - (Silver Palate)

By Maverick19

It's worth timing this so that you can serve it 30 minutes out of the oven. From The Silver Palate shop, from Manhattan, in the 70's.

Ingredients

• 16 Tbsp sweet butter (2 sticks)
• 2 3/4 cups granulated sugar
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 cups sour cream
• 1 Tbsp vanilla
• 2 cups shelled pecans, chopped
• 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 10 inch bundt pan and lightly dust the inside with flour.
2. Cream together the butter and 2 cups of the sugar. Add eggs, blending well, then the sour cream and vanilla.
3. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
4. Fold the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture, and beat until just blended. Do not overbeat.
5. In a separate bowl, mix remaining 3/4 cup sugar with pecans and cinnamon.
6. Pour half of the batter into the bundt pan. Sprinkle with half of the pecan and sugar mixture. Add remaining batter and top with the rest of the pecan mixture.
7. Set on the middle rack of the oven and bake for about 60 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm.
