Coffee cake never goes out of style. Our easy recipe for Sour Cream Coffee Cake, that's sprinkled with cinnamon and nuts, is the perfect excuse to eat cake for breakfast or really any time at all. This sour cream coffee cake recipe is a traditional breakfast recipe that's truly addictive. We can't decide whether we like the sweet cinnamon topping or the fluffy cake center better!

What You'll Need

  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 (16.5-ounce) package yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 eggs

What to Do

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
     
  2. In a medium bowl, combine walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon; mix well and set aside.
     
  3. In a large bowl, beat cake mix, sour cream, water, and eggs until well combined. Spread half the batter in prepared baking dish, sprinkle with half the nut mixture, then repeat layers.
     
  4. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly then cut into squares and serve warm, or allow to cool completely before serving.
