Swedish Coffee Cake

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!  The holidays are a time for families and traditions.  In my family we have a tradition that has been around since my mom was young.  My great Aunt Marge would make a Swedish coffee cake every Christmas Even to have on Christmas morning while opening gifts.  I have since taken over the job of coffee cake maker and it is delicious!!

Swedish Coffee Cake

Cake Batter:

½ cup of margarine (I use butter)

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup sugar

1 cup sour cream

2 cups of all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

Topping:

½ cup of chopped walnuts

1 teaspoon cinnamon

¼ cup sugar

Preheat you oven to 350 degree and grease a Bundt pan.  Cream together butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and sour cream.  Then mix together the dry ingredients in a separate bowl.  Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until they are well mixed.  Pour half of the batter into the Bundt pan and coat with half of the topping mixture.  Then pour the rest of the batter into the pan and finish with the topping. 

This cake will bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean, be careful not to overcook it.

I hope you have had as wonderful a holiday season with your families as I have had with mine!!
