Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
- Beat the butter and 1 1/2 cups of sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add the room-temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Beat in the vanilla with the last egg. Pour in the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream, mixing until just incorporated.

- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

JUDY'S JEWISH COFFEE CAKE
Outrageously DELICIOUS is all I can say about this Coffee Cake... Moist and UNBELIEVABLY GOOD describes this recipe to a T! I remember the first time my friend Marie's sister made this recipe, and I thought I had died and gone to heaven. It IS that GOOD! Try it, and let me know how you like it :) I made this recipe in Memory Of Chef-I-Am for the Cake-A-Thon October 2007, in Tina's memory. It came out super moist, loaded with the flavor of cinnamon and nuts, and is definately one you should try. Everyone loved it on our Charleston trip. She would have been proud! Here's to you Tina!

My mother in law made this for her family for many years. My husband just loves it when she served it warm. A little cream over it when it is warm sounds good to me. (There is no vanilla or cake mix in this recipe, if you wonder if I forget it.)
