Happy Christmas Eve Eve – LOL! Or happy other holiday you might celebrate at this time of year. I’ve finished shopping (finally!) and I’ve got all my closest family around, so it’s going to be a wonderful holiday.

So many folks have treasured holiday traditions wrapped up in favorite foods, goodies that bring back fond memories of holidays past, filled with love and laughter. One such recipe belonged to my great grandmother. My mom remembers this from her childhood, as do I. This is a great breakfast food, and it’s easy to make.

SOUR CREAM COFFEE CAKE
Batter:
1/4 lb butter (softened)
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup sour cream
1 tbs vanilla
Mix and beat for 3 minutes

Filing:
2 tsp cinnamon
4 tbs brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
3 tbs butter (melted on top of batter)

Grease tube or bundt pan well. Pour 1/2 batter in. Sprinkle on half of filling. Then pour the other half of the batter on the filling. Sprinkle remaining filling on top. Pour 3 tbs butter (melted) on top. Bake at 375 for 40-45 minutes. Enjoy warm, cold, reheated – even freeze and defrost. Great stuff!
