Cream together:
2 sticks margarine
1 1/3 c. sugar
2 eggs

Sift:
2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder

Add to the above mixture alternately with:

1 c. sour cream
1 t. vanilla

Mix in small dish:

3/4 c. chopped walnuts
2 tsp. cinnamon
3 T. sugar

Pour one-half of batter into greased (with margarine) angel food cake pan. Sprinkle one-half of the nut mixture on top, then put remaining cake batter on top, and finally sprinkle the rest of the nut mixture on top. Place on bottom oven rack in cold oven. Turn to 350 degrees and bake for 1 hour. Leave in pan until cold. Turn out on serving dish.

“This coffee cake has been a tradition for Christmas morning in our family for over 30 years. It can be kept fresh in the refrigerator or frozen and served later. Although the recipe calls for sour cream, fat free sour cream doesn’t seem to affect the outcome. It is always delicious.”

(Janet James)
