Coffee Cake

Here is a delicous reciepe from my Aunt. 

Pre-heat oven to 350

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup softened butter
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream ( I substitute Greek Yogurt and highly recommend it)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 cups flour (You can't go wrong with King Arthur)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt ( I never add)
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped pecans ( I use walnuts, it is a matter of personal taste)

Directions:
    Beat the butter and 1 cup of the sugar together until fluffy.  Beat in eggs, one at a time.  Stir in sour cream (or greek yogurt), lemon juice, and vanilla.  Beat until well blended.  In a seperate bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Stir into the batter until it is smooth.  Spoon half the batter into a greased 9- inch tube pan.  Combine remaining sugar, nutes and cinnamon and sprinkle two-thirds of it over the batter.  Top with remaining mixture of nuts.  Place in center rack of oven and bake at 350 for 30 to 35 minutes.  Serve Warm and enjoy!
