Cinnamon Coffee Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine, softened
2 3/4 cups sugar, divided
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
16 ounces sour cream (2 cups)
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Preparation

In a large bowl, cream the butter and 2 c. sugar until fluffy.
Add the vanilla; add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; add alternately with sour cream, beating just enough after each addition to keep batter smooth.
Spoon one-third of the batter into a greased 10 inch tube pan.
Combine the cinnamon, nuts, and remaining sugar; sprinkle one-third over batter in pan.
Repeat layers two more times.
Bake at 350 degrees for 70 minutes or until cake tests done.
Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
