This Coffee Cake Bundt Cake is fluffy and moist due to its use of sour cream in the coffee cake batter. A cinnamon swirl in the middle adds a nice spice flavor which pairs perfectly with the buttery crumble on top. Each layer uses simple ingredients and is made with easy-to-follow instructions.
Crumb Topping
- 2/3 cup All Purpose Flour
- 2/3 cup Light Brown Sugar
- 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 6 tbsp Salted Butter, softened to room temperature
Cinnamon Swirl
- 1/2 cup Dark Brown Sugar
- 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
Coffee Cake
- 1 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 3/4 cup Salted Butter, softened to room temperature
- 3 large Eggs, at room temperature
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Sour Cream
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F
Grease the bundt pan with nonstick spray
First, we are going to make the crumb topping
Top a mixing bowl, add the flour, light brown sugar and cinnamon
Whisk until combined
Cut the softened butter into chunks then add into the bowl
Use either a fork, pastry cutter or your hands to combine the ingredients together. I typically use my hand and continually mixing until you get a crumble
Transfer the crumble into the prepared bundt pan
Gently press down so that there are no loose pieces
Next, we are going to quickly make the cinnamon swirl
To a bowl, mix together the dark brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside
Now, lets make the coffee cake batter
To a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, add the softened butter and granulated sugar
Mix until combined (if not using a stand mixer, use an electric hand mixer)
Once light and fluffy, start to add in your eggs one at a time
With the last egg, add the vanilla extract as well
Once combined, add in 1 cup of flour
Mix
Add in half of the sour cream
Mix and add in the remaining flour as well as the baking powder and baking soda
Once combined, add in the remaining sour cream and mix
Pour 2/3 of the batter on top of the crumb layer in the bundt pan and spread in an even layer
Sprinkle all of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top
Add the remaining batter on top and spread in an even layer
Put in the oven to bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out of the center clean (after about 45 minutes, I added some aluminum foil on top loosely to prevent the top from burning)
Once done, remove from the oven and let cool in the bundt pan for about 2 hours
Use a knife to loosen the cake from the sides
Flip the pan over onto a baking sheet or serving platter
Remove the pan from the coffee cake bundt cake
Dust with powdered sugar (optional)
Slice and enjoy!
