Essential:
This cake must be baked in a bundt or tube pan. It will not cook correctly in any other type of pan.
Tip:
To easily drizzle icing, add icing mixture to a ziploc bag. Cut a little hole in the corner and squeeze out icing, moving your hand back and forth to cover the cake.

Sour Cream Coffee Cake
We've adapted this scrumptious coffee cake from the Davenport Hotel's collection of special recipes. Although they no longer serve the original version of this cake, we adore this recipe.
Batter:
1 cup butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling:
1 cup chopped pecans
1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
Icing:
1 Tablespoon melted butter
1 Tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
Tie on your apron. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 10" bundt pan and set aside. Prepare filling by combining all ingredients in a small mixing bowl, and set aside. Prepare icing by combining all ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Cover and set aside. To prepare batter, cream butter and sugar in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add eggs and vanilla and beat well. Blend in sour cream. Add dry ingredients and blend well. Spoon half of batter into prepared bundt pan and smooth out evenly. Sprinkle filling over batter (reserving 1 Tablespoon for later use). Add remaining batter, and smooth out evenly. Bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean. Remove from oven and let sit in the pan for 5 minutes. Turn out onto a cooling rack and let cool until warm, not hot. Drizzle with icing and sprinkle with reserved Tablespoon of filling. Serve warm or cooled. Makes 8-10 servings.
