Jean held onto this recipe for 20 years before she made it. It was worth the wait!

Jean’s Sour Cream Coffee Cake

Cream until light and fluffy:

• 2 cups sugar

Add:

• 2 cups sifted flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¹/₈ teaspoon salt

Fold in:

• 1 cup sour cream
• ½ teaspoon vanilla

Topping:

• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Grease and flour a bundt cake pan.  Sprinkle half of the topping mixture on the bottom of the pan.  Add half of the batter. Sprinkle remainder of the topping and then add the remaining batter.
