Sour Cream Coffee Cake Bundt

This Coffee Bundt Cake is very delicious and simple to make. Most of the recipe includes simple ingredients that can be found in your kitchen that you already have on hand. The cinnamon streusel with the walnuts, ground cinnamon and brown sugar is so good.

I remember my Grandma making this cake for breakfast when we would come to visit and it wouldn’t last for even one day. The sour cream is the key ingredient for making this cake super moist.

If you love coffee cake as much as we do, you’ll also want to try our Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake, Blueberry Muffin Coffee Cake, Lemon Coffee Cake, Banana Crunch Cake and Buttermilk Coffee Cake to just name a few.

What You’ll Need

  • Flour- Use all-purpose flour for the best results.
  • Baking Soda- This will allow the ingredients to double in size.
  • Salt- This will bring out the flavors in the recipe.
  • Sugar- Every dessert recipe uses granulated sugar as an ingredient.
  • Butter- Use unsalted butter to control the amount of salt.
  • Eggs- Use these at room temperature.
  • Sour Cream- This will cut the richness in half.
  • Vanilla- Use the pure vanilla extract for the best flavoring.
  • Whiskey- We used Crown Royal for this recipe. However using whiskey is totally optional.
  • Walnuts- These will need to be chopped.
  • Brown Sugar- This will add richness to the recipe.
  • Cinnamon- This will be an additional flavoring.

  • First, set the oven to 300 degrees. Then, use pam baking spray to grease a 9-inch bundt cake pan.
  • Second, add the flour, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl and combine.
  • Next, add the butter and sugar into a standing mixer and beat to combine until light and fluffy.
  • One at a time, add in the eggs and beat after each addition. Then, add in the sour cream, whisky and vanilla and beat to combine.
  • Slowly combine the dry and wet ingredients.
  • Next, add 1/3 of the batter into the prepared pan and then layer with half of the chopped walnut mixture.
  • Finally, any remaining batter can be poured into the pan.
  • Place the pan into the oven for 70 minutes, or until you place a toothpick in the middle of the cake and it comes out clean a batter.
  • Next, remove the cake from the oven and set it aside to cool for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • When the time is up, remove the cake from the pan and place it onto a serving platter.

Is the Whiskey in this Cake Safe for Kids?

Attempting to feed a child this whiskey cake all depends on the parent. The alcohol content in this recipe is very low, however, there is still alcohol in the cake. So, if you were ever serving guests where there are children in the vicinity, I would always recommend asking the parents permission before allowing them to eat it.

The Crown Royal whiskey in the streusel layer is optional to this recipe. Infusing any dessert with things like whiskey, rum, bourbon, and more adds incredible flavor. And, if you love this cake recipe and you are sure to enjoy this Old Fashioned Whiskey Cake or this Bourbon Pecan Cake.

How to Store Coffee Cake Bundt?

Storing your Bundt Cake is very easy. All you have to do is make sure to get an airtight container, specifically, a cake container. Placing the recipe in a container allows it to have enough space to move around without getting messed up. After you have placed your recipe in the container, then you would want to place it in the fridge, or you can leave it out at room temperature to be eaten immediately.
