A buttery, cinnamon-swirled coffee cake baked in a bundt pan for a classic, elegant presentation. Perfect for brunch, potlucks, or any cozy occasion.
Cake:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1½ cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
Cinnamon Swirl:
½ cup brown sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Glaze (optional):
1 cup powdered sugar
1–2 tbsp milk or cream
½ tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 10–12 cup bundt pan.
Mix cinnamon swirl ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla. Beat well.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, soda, and salt.
Add dry ingredients to butter mixture, alternating with sour cream.
Spoon half of the batter into pan. Add cinnamon swirl. Top with remaining batter.
Bake 50–60 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
Cool 15 minutes in pan, then invert onto a rack. Cool completely.
Drizzle with glaze before serving, if desired.
Add chopped nuts for texture. Store covered at room temperature or freeze for longer storage.
