Lithuanian Coffee Cake

Prep:20minCook:55min

Delicious any time of day. It is my go-to brunch or tea cake. You can use regular sour cream, low fat sour cream, plain yogurt, plain soy yogurt, or plain Greek yogurt. You can even do a little mix and match of whatever you have on hand to make up the one cup. I haven’t tried it yet with a vegan sour cream.

1 tspvanilla

1 cuplow fat sour cream

or plain yogurt

2 cupsflour

1 tspbaking soda

1 tspbaking powder

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the filling by combining ingredients in a small bowl. Stir to combine, then set aside.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 350. Prepare a 10 cup Bundt pan with butter/shortening and flour. Tap to remove excess flour.

Step 3

Measure 1 cup of the sour cream or yogurt in a two cup measuring cup. Stir in baking soda to combine. Let stand while you assemble the rest of the ingredients. The baking soda will lighten the sour cream and it will increase in volume.

Step 4

Sift dry ingredients in a medium bowl.

Step 5

Cream the butter and sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Add the eggs one at a time, beating 30 seconds after each addition. Add the coffee, vanilla, and the sour cream/ yogurt mixture.

Step 6

Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Sprinkle half the batter into the prepared Bundt, then sprinkle in half the topping over the batter. Top with remaining batter, then smooth the top. Sprinkle remaining filling over the top.

Step 7

Bake in the center of the oven at 350 for 50-55 min. Let cool in the pan 5 min, then turn out on a platter or cake plate. Serve warm or cooled to room temp.
