Jewish Coffee Cake

1 cup brown sugar packed
1 tsp. cinnamon
3 Tbsp. flour
3/4 cup chopped nuts. I used pecans
3 heaping Tbsp. Butter

Measure butter then melt it, mix with other ingredients and set aside.

Cake
1/2 cup butter softened
1 cup sugar
Cream together
Add 3 eggs one at a time and beat
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder,
1 tsp soda
1/2 tsp. salt
Add to batter
1 carton 8 oz. sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla
beat until smooth

Line bottom of greased angel food pan with strussel, top with half the batter. Add strussel on top, cover with remaining batter, add last of strussel on top.
Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Cool before taking out of pan.

This freezes very well. Taste better when stored in the refridge.

I am not sure why it is called that. One of my girlfriend's grandmother makes this recipe and when I tried it I knew I had to make it often.

It keeps very well in the refridge for days.

There is nothing Kosher in it so I have no idea where the name came from.
