How to Make Best Coffee Cake Ever

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, alternating with 4 large eggs, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 cup sour cream on low speed until just combined.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Add the streusel topping (see recipe below). Pour in the remaining batter.

  8. Bake for 65-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
