Yield Makes 1 Bundt cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon instant coffee
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup sour cream, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, instant coffee, and cocoa.
  • Separately whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar. Add one egg at a time, beating until just combined. Beat in one third of the flour mixture, then half of the sour cream, then another third of the flour mixture. Beat in the remainder of the sour cream and the last third of the flour mixture. (Always start with flour and end with flour.) Add the vanilla and mix for another minute or two, scraping the sides of the bowl well with a spatula.
  • Pour one third of the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle half of the filling on top. Pour in another third of the batter and sprinkle the remainder of the filling on top of that. End with the last third of the batter. Run a dinner knife down through the batter and swirl the knife gently to marble the batter in about six places.
  • Bake for 50 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Cool on a rack for 30 minutes, then turn out onto a plate or onto foil. The cake can be frozen while still warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh fruits and vegetables will give your coffee cake the best flavor. If you can, use organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your coffee cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Grease and flour the pan: This will help to prevent the coffee cake from sticking to the pan.
  • Bake the coffee cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the coffee cake is cooked through.
  • Let the coffee cake cool before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Aunt Fran's coffee cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist crumb, sweet filling, and crunchy topping, this coffee cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
