Grandma Addie's Coffee Cake

Grandma Addie's Coffee Cake

The directions are a bit odd, but this is how the recipe was given to me.
This makes a delicious cake. I think my Grandmother probably got this
recipe from the Love and Knishes cookbook. I don't use the nuts; I make a
little extra filling to make up for them. I prefer it this way.

Preheat oven to 325F. You'll be using a 13X9X2 glass baking dish which has
been buttered and lightly dusted with flour.

Batter

1/2 pound butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs at room temp

Cream butter and sugar together, then beat in the three eggs. You can beat
the eggs into the butter/sugar mixture on the second or third setting on
the
mixer, but when you start adding the dry ingredients (below) in, be
careful! Put the machine on the lowest setting, or your flour will go
a-flyin'!

Sift together 11/2 cups cake flour with
1 and 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt

Add dry ingredients into the butter/sugar/egg mixture alternately with 1
cup
dairy sour cream. Mix until batter is smooth.

(Note - I often just use regular, all purpose flour. The cake tastes
great, and I actually think I prefer it with AP flour.)

Filling

1 cup brown sugar (dark or light, your choice)
3 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup grated nuts

Put 1/2 of batter in greased baking pan. Then place the other 1/2 of the
filling on the batter. Cover filling with rest of batter. Then top gently
with rest of filling. Bake for 1 hour at 325F. Check with toothpick or
piece of straw. Nothing should stick to toothpick or straw.
