    List of Ingredients




    scratch - Coffee Swirl Cake

    for the topping, if desired:
    1/2 cup finely chopped nuts

    for the swirling:
    1/2 cup finely chopped nuts, optional
    1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
    1 Tablespoon instant coffee crystals
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

    for the cake batter:
    2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 cup granulated white sugar
    1 level Tablespoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup butter
    3 beaten eggs
    1, 8 ounce container sour cream
    1/3 cup milk
    1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

    for the icing:
    1/2 teaspoon instant coffee crystals
    4 - 5 teaspoons milk
    1 cup sifted powdered confectioners sugar
    1/2 teaspoon milk

    for the topping, if desired:
    Grease a 10 inch, fluted tube (bundt) pan. Preheat
    oven to 325 degrees F.
    Sprinkle nuts, if using, over the bottom of the pan.

    for the swirling::
    Combine nuts, sugar, coffee crystals, and cinnamon
    together and set aside.

    for the cake batter:
    Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Use
    a pastry blender to cut in butter until mixture
    resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center
    and set aside.
    Combine eggs, sour cream, milk, coffee crystals and
    vanilla together.
    Pour into well and stir until moistened.
    Remove 1 cup batter and combine with swirling mixture.
    Pour 1/2 of the cake batter into the bundt pan. Place
    Tablespoonfuls of swirling on top of batter, being
    careful not to touch sides. Pour the other 1/2 of the
    cake batter on top. Carefully, take a butter knife
    and make some swirling/large circles down into both
    the batters...do not Over swirl.
    Bake for 45 - 50 minutes or until a wooden toothpick
    inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in the
    pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Invert onto a serving
    plate. Remove from pan and let cool to lukewarm.

    for the icing:
    Dissolve coffee crystals into 3 teaspoons of milk. Stir
    in powdered sugar and vanilla. Stir in enough of the
    remaining milk to make a drizzling consistency. Drizzle
    over lukewarm cake.
    Makes 12 servings.
