Notes
For the fluffiest cake: It’s all about creaming the butter and sugar! You want to incorporate air into the batter so be sure to cream until the mixture is light and fluffy. Also, be sure to measure the flour accurately. Too much flour can make your cake dense.
How to make a moist coffee cake: Sour cream will make the coffee cake very moist and delicious. Keep an eye on it while it bakes, too. Overbaking will dry it out. To keep the cake moist, be sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap once it’s fully cooled.
Tip for removing from the bundt pan: First, make sure you grease and flour the pan before baking the cake. This will make it much easier to turn it out. When the cake has cooled for ten minutes, place the baking rack on top and then invert to turn the cake over in the pan. It should slide right out!
Storage: Place leftover coffee cake in an airtight container or wrap it well and store at room temperature for up to 1 week. It can also be frozen in a freezer-safe storage container for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
Optional Glaze: Want to sweeten it up even more? Make a powdered sugar glaze to drizzle on top of it. Simply mix together 1 c. powdered sugar, 2 Tbsp milk and 1 tsp vanilla extract and drizzle of the top of cooled coffee cake.
