Coffee Cake

Just about the best homemade coffee cake I have ever tasted!!!!!

• Ready In: 1 hr 15 mins
• Yields: 1 cake

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup  Crisco
• 2  large eggs
• 1  cup white sugar
• 1  pint sour cream
• 1 1⁄2 cups flour
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1  teaspoon vanilla
• 1  teaspoon baking soda, add to the sour cream

• Mixture for middle and top of cake

• 1⁄4 cup white sugar
• 1⁄4 cup  grated walnuts
• 1⁄2 tablespoon cinnamon

Directions

1. Cream sugar and shortening.
2. Add remaining ingredients and beat well.
3. Put half the mixture into a greased cake pan.
4. Sprinkle with a mixture of white sugar, cinnamon and grated walnuts.
5. Add remaining cake mixture and top with sugar, cinnamon and walnut mixture.
6. Set oven at 350°. I usually bake them for about 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours. You can stick a toothpick or one of those kabob holders in the middle. If it comes out clean, then the cake is done. It usually turns a kind of golden brown on top. You should let it cool for awhile so as not to burn your mouth.
