Diets This is the type of coffeecake my mother often made when I was growing up. Enriched with sour cream and swirled with cinnamon and sugar, it is the perfect, after-the-fast treat. In fact, it’s great at any time! Now, for a lighter treat, my mother and I often use half sour cream and half yogurt, as in this version, and it’s still delicious, but you can use all sour cream if you prefer. You can bake it two to three days ahead, wrap it, and keep it at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar, divided
1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 and 1/2 teaspoons Haddar Baking Powder
3/4 cup sour cream
3/4 cup plain yogurt, regular, low-fat or nonfat
1 teaspoon Gefen Vanilla Extract
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon Gefen Baking Soda
Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Generously grease a nine- and- a- half- by four-inch Bundt pan, kugelhopf mold, or fluted tube pan, taking care to butter tube and each fluted section.
Mix cinnamon with three tablespoons sugar in a small bowl.
Sift flour, baking powder and baking soda into a medium bowl.
In another bowl mix sour cream, yogurt and vanilla.
Cream butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light. Add one cup sugar and beat until smooth and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one by one. At low speed, stir in flour mixture alternately with sour cream mixture, each in two portions.
Pour slightly less than half the batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle with half the cinnamon sugar.
Gently spoon dollops of batter over mixture, using just enough to cover it. Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar. Gently add remaining batter in dollops over it. Spread gently to cover mixture.
Bake about 55 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in cake’s center comes out clean. Cook in pan on a rack 10 minutes.
Run a thin-bladed flexible knife around tube but not around sides of pan. Invert cake onto a rack and cool completely. Serve at room temperature.
