Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9-inch nonstick tube pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream and baking soda.
With an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla on high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. With mixer on low speed, add flour mixture in three additions alternately with sour-cream mixture in two, beginning and ending with flour. Mix just until moistened.

Ingredients

1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup walnuts (finely chopped)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons sugar

Spoon half of the batter into a greased and floured tube or bundt pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon mix over the batter (the batter will be thick). Spoon in the remaining batter and top off with the remaining cinnamon mix.
Place the pan in a COLD oven. Set to 350 degrees, then bake for about 55 mins until a toothpick comes out clean.

Tips:

Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the batter come together more easily and bake more evenly.
Sour Cream: The sour cream in this recipe adds moisture and richness, making the coffee cake extra decadent.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the coffee cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Use a bundt pan: A bundt pan is the perfect shape for this coffee cake. It allows the cake to rise evenly and gives it a beautiful presentation.
Cinnamon Streusel Topping: The cinnamon streusel topping is the perfect finishing touch for this coffee cake. It adds a sweet and crunchy texture.
Serve warm: This coffee cake is best served warm from the oven. You can also store it at room temperature for up to 3 days.
