Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cups granulated sugar
• 3 eggs, large
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 cups sour cream
• 2 cups apples, peeled, cored, and diced
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cups chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch bundt pan or a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

Using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in pure vanilla extract.

Step 5

On low speed, alternate adding the dry ingredients in three parts with the sour cream in two parts, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 6

In another bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped nuts to make the apple nut filling. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.

Step 7

Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle half of the apple nut filling over the batter.

Step 8

Add the remaining batter over the filling, spreading it evenly. Top with the remaining apple nut filling, gently pressing it into the batter.

Step 9

Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15-20 minutes. If using a bundt pan, carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Old Fashioned Sour Cream Coffee Cake with a cup of coffee or tea!
