By Cody back on track for the week. Three meetings done. Mr. Garcia gave him another chance at the shop, on the condition of weekly meeting attendance. The recipe Sunday was sour cream apple coffee cake for a quiet Sunday family breakfast.
The recipe is below.
Sour Cream Apple Coffee Cake
Prep Time: 15 min | Cook Time: 45 min | Total Time: 1 hr | Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (about 2 cups)
- Cinnamon Swirl:
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or a 9-inch square pan for a thicker cake.
- Make the swirl. In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts if using. Set aside.
- Whisk dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream butter and sugar. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each. Mix in vanilla.
- Combine. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in three additions, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with flour. Stir until just combined — do not overmix. Fold in the diced apples.
- Layer and swirl. Spread half the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle half the cinnamon swirl mixture evenly over the top. Add the remaining batter, spreading gently to cover. Sprinkle the remaining swirl mixture over the top.
- Bake. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden. Let cool at least 10 minutes before slicing.
