Dessert - Sour Cream Coffee Cake (aka 'Grandma Cake')

Maria told me this recipe was something Helen made all the time (this is the original recipe from Camille Dunn who was Maria's neighbor).

2 Sticks soft butter
1 cup sugar
(cream the above 2 ingredients together)
Add 2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix well

2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Topping:
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup nuts
1 teaspoon cinnamin
chop nuts and mix

Sift dry ingredients into the wet mixture, beat well and STIR (don't use mixer!) in one cup of sour cream.

Spoon half of the batter into a greased and floured pan (I use a bundt pan), sprinkle on half of the topping mixture, the rest of the batter, and the rest of the topping. Recipe says to bake about 1 hour at 350 but I always find for me it's done at 45 minutes, depends on the oven.
