Kathy's Coffee Cake

I had a brunch with friends this week, so I made my favorite coffee cake. This recipe comes from family friend Kathy Newton and it is DIVINE! I remember being giddy when Kathy would bring this over at Christmas when I was younger.

Cream together:

       1 cup butter or margarine

       2 cups sugar

       2 eggs

       1 cup sour cream (I use reduced-fat sour cream)

       1 tsp. vanilla

Add:

       2 cups all-purpose flour

       1 tsp. baking powder

       1/2 tsp. salt

Spread half of the batter into a greased tube pan. Sprinkle with half of the topping (Below). Repeat with remaining batter and sprinkle with remaining topping. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 50-60 minutes. Let cool in pan.

Topping: Mix well:

        1/2 cup brown sugar

        2 tsp. ground cinnamon
