Sour Cream Coffeecake

If you're on the lookout for a light and tasty coffeecake, you've finally found it! I always get great compliments when I make this very easy treat. Great with coffee and a couple of gals to chat with.

1 cup butter or margarine
2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt

filling
1/3 cup flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tbsp butter or margarine, melted
1 tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9x13" baking pan.

In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup of butter and white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in the sour cream and vanilla. Mix in 2 cups of flour, baking powder and salt, just until combined. Spread half of the mixture into the prepared pan.

Prepare filling: In a medium bowl, mix 1/3 cup flour, brown sugar, 2 tbsp melted butter and cinnamon. Sprinkle cake batter with half of the filling. Spread remaining batter in the pan and top with the remaining filling.

Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Tip: Try adding raisins, chopped pecans or chocolate chips to the filling for a change.
