Mom's Coffee Cake (not our Mom)

I made this the morning Janet, Jacob, and Brooke stayed with us before Jacob's brother's wedding. The recipe is written on a note card and glued on a sheet of notebook paper with other old recipes. It is from Cindy Lam, Provo, Utah. I suppose it's really from Cindy Lam's mom. I'm guessing that Cindy Lam was in the ward in Casselton since there have been a few other recipes from Casseltonians.

1 c butter
1 c sugar
2 eggs
1 t vanilla
2 c flour
1 t soda
1 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
2 c flour
1 c sour cream

Cream sugar and butter, add eggs, add vanilla - (Mix flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda) Add sour cream and flour mixture - beat well. Grease 9x13 pan well. Put 1/2 cake mixture on bottom of pan, sprinkle 1/2 of topping on batter - repeat.

Topping
1 c pecans
1/2 c sugar
t cinnamon

This was a good basic coffee cake. We all liked it. I liked it especially because it took all normal pantry items that I had, except the pecans which I omitted. I'm sure it would be good with pecans, though. I'll probably make it again someday. And no, it doesn't have coffee in it.

  1. Oh good. I'm glad there's no coffee in it. Maybe I'll make this tomorrow.

  2. Aw man. Nevermind, we don't have sugar. Who doesn't have sugar in their house?

  3. Sour cream isn't in the ingredient list. It would probably be a good way to use up sour cream since mine often goes moldy. We sometimes don't have sugar if I'm on a health kick and Preston uses it all up pouring huge spoonfuls on his Cheerios.

  4. Brian does that too!

    That was my mistake. I'll edit it.
