Hi, I am Rachel Edelman for About.com Food. Today, I'm going to show you how to make kosher coffee cake.

Kosher Coffee Cake Ingredients

For this recipe, you will need:
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
First preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Combine the Coffee Cake Wet Ingredients

Pour a cup of sugar and the butter in a large mixing bowl. With an electric mixer, cream the sugar with the butter. Next add eggs and beat them into the mix. Then add the sour cream and vanilla. Combine everything.

Prepare the Coffee Cake Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix this together.

Mix All the Coffee Cake Ingredients

In small batches, mix this into the wet ingredients. In another bowl, combine cinnamon, sugar, and chopped pecans.

Grease a cake pan and dust with flour. Be sure that the pan is floured on all sides. Pour half of the batter into the pan. Spread the batter around, so it is evenly around the pan. Sprinkle with the nut mixture. Add remaining batter.

Bake the Kosher Coffee Cake

Place the pan onto a cookie sheet and place in the oven. Bake coffeecake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. Take the cake out of the oven, and flip it over onto a plate. Cut out a piece and you will see that the nut mixture is right in the center of the cake. Enjoy!
