How to Make Amj S Sour Cream Coffee Cake

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 cup sour cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Prepare the topping: In a small bowl, combine ½ cup packed brown sugar, ½ cup chopped pecans (optional), and ½ cup all-purpose flour.
7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle half of the topping mixture evenly over the batter.
8. Pour the remaining batter over the topping, and sprinkle with the remaining topping mixture.
9. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
