Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups sour cream
- 0.25 cups milk
- 0.5 cups jam (any flavor)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
On low speed, add the sour cream and milk to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer.
Dollop half of the jam over the batter and use a knife or skewer to gently swirl it into the batter.
Spread the remaining batter over the jam layer, smoothing it out, and then repeat with the remaining jam, swirling it into the top layer of batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the cooled coffee cake with powdered sugar before serving.
