When I was little I thought coffee cake was made with coffee or you could only eat it at breakfast while having a cup. I know, kids will think the craziest things! (I also thought to wear fake nails or eyelashes you had to first pluck out your own, I know… little weirdo.)

I have to be honest, I have never made one before, but I have eaten my fair share and this is by FAR the best I have ever tasted.

I really think the secret to this one is using a lot of sour cream in the batter. Plus, I added a touch of almond extract to give it a little extra oomph and it sure did work, wow!

Easy Sour Cream Coffee Cake Directions:

  • Spray a bundt pan liberally with cooking spray, set aside.
  • Mix dry ingredients in a bowl, set aside. Cream together butter and sugar. Add in eggs, vanilla, and almond extracts. Stir to combine, I used a stand mixer for this recipe but feel free to use a hand mixer.
  • Slowly add the dry mixture and little at a time to the bowl, alternating with the sour cream until combined. Scrape the sides as needed.
  • Make the brown sugar filling.
  • Pour 1/3 of the cake batter into the bundt pan and smooth out evenly. Sprinkle half of the filling. Pour another 1/3 of the batter and smooth, top with the remaining filling. Filling, pour in the last of the batter and smooth the top.
  • Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for one hour, until a toothpick inserted into the center, comes out clean. Place on a wire rack to cool. Let cool for 20 minutes and flip the cake out of the pan onto your serving platter, be very careful because it will be hot.
  • While the cake is cooling make the glaze consisting of cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, butter, and milk. Pour on top of the cake and serve while still warm.

Servings 16 servings

Ingredients
  

Filling

  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Coffee Cake

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • pinch salt
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened (1 1/2 sticks)
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups sour cream

Cream Cheese Glaze

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste or extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 6 tablespoons milk

Instructions
 

  • Stir together the filling in a small bowl and set aside. 
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease a bundt pan, set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer (or with a hand mixer and a large bowl), cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Add the almond and vanilla extract, stir to combine. Add the eggs one at a time until incorporated.
  • Alternating between the dry ingredients and the sour cream, add both little by little until the batter is combined. Scrape the sides as needed.
  • Pour 1/3 of the batter into the bundt pan and smooth. Sprinkle half of the filling. Smooth another 1/3 of the batter on top. Sprinkle the remaining filling. Finish off with the rest of the batter and smooth the top. Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out mostly clean, a few crumbs is okay, wet batter needs longer.
  • Place bundt pan on a wire rack and let the cake cool for 20 minutes. Carefully flip the cake out onto serving platter and let continue to cool.
  • While the cake is cooling make the glaze by creaming the cream cheese in a medium-sized bowl with a hand mixer until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla, mix until combined. Add the butter, and mix. Add in the milk one tablespoon at a time until it forms the consistency you like, it should be thick but pourable. 
  • Drizzle glaze on top of the cake and serve. It's very good served warm, or let it come down to room temperature, enjoy!
