A Twist In The Tail

Millie’s Famous Sour Cream Coffee Cake

Stella stole this recipe to enter in the contest so Josie never got a chance to make it. But, since it was one of her favorites as a little girl, it’s included here for you to try.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup salted butter

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/8 teaspoon salt

Topping:

1/4 cup sugar

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 cup chopped pecans

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (f).

Grease an 8x8 pan.

Combine the topping ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

Ina large bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and mix. Add the sour cream and vanilla. Mix well.

In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

Pour half the batter into the 8x8 pan. Sprinkle half the topping mix over the batter. Spoon remaining batter on top. Sprinkle remaining topping mix on top of that.

Bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean - about 40 minutes.
