The geeky boys in my office are in heaven, for years they have been promised baked goods but location was always a negating factor - now that I'm in the right state (as far as they are concerned) they got their baked goodies this morning - and boy was it a hit...

Coffee Cake

Filling:

1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Mix together.

Cake
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

Mix butter, sugar and eggs. Add sour cream and vanilla. Add dry ingredients. Spoon 1/2 of mix into prepared pan. Top with 3/4s of the filling and then the remaining batter. Sprinkle remaining filling on top of the cake. Bake at 375° for about an hour. Remove from pan and cool.

(I'm still trying to judge how hot my oven is, so cook til a knife inserted in the center comes out clean)
