Christmas Baking Traditions

A wonderful Christmas weekend of baking with my mom! From our Dutch and Norwegian heritage, we make Krumkaker cookies and Dutch Butter Letter.

Fall is here and there are so many wonderful things to bake/cook from pumpkin muffins to yummy stew! I enjoy baking and I love Sour Cream Coffee Cake! It is a Dutch family recipe. I remember my mother and grandmother making it. I am excited to bake it for my children one day and pass it on to them.

The recipe includes:

3/4 cup of softened butter

1 1/2 cups sugar

3 eggs

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

3 cups of flour

1 /2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 1/2 cups of sour cream

Filling:

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup of chopped nuts (I like it better without the nuts)

1/4 cup sugar

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Directions:

Combine butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla in large mixing bowl. Beat for 2 minutes.
Mix the baking soda and sour cream in a separate bowl.
Then alternate mixing in the flour, salt and sour cream to the butter/sugar/egg mixture.
Grease 2 loaf pans.
