Sour Cream Coffee Cake

SOUR CREAM COFFEE CAKE

1/2 c. butter or marg. softened
1 c. sugar
2 Eggs
1 tsp. baking soda
1 c. sour cream

1 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 c. brown sugar, packed
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. finely chopped nuts
1/4 c. coconut (optional)*

Cream butter, sugar, and 1 egg together well in a mixing bowl. Beat in second egg. Add soda and sour cream. Mix.
In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to batter. Stir to mix. Put 1/2 batter in a greased 9x9 pan.
Stir brown sugar, nuts and cinnamon together. Sprinkle half over batter. Spoon second half of batter here and there over the top. Sprinkle second half of cinnamon mixture over all. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Serve warm.

*Coconut is optional but I like to use it not only for the yum factor but it also keeps the cake really moist. Enjoy!
