Every inch of this Jewish Coffee Cake screams soft, moist and delicious!
Let’s gather the ingredients and make it together.
Jewish Coffee Cake Ingredients:
- 1 stick butter, room temperature
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3 eggs, room temperature
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 Teaspoon baking powder
- 1 Teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 Teaspoon salt
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream, room temperature
Topping Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 Tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Place one stick of softened butter and 1 cup of white sugar into a large bowl. Beat the two together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs to the bowl one at a time, beating well after each egg addition. Add the vanilla and beat it into the batter.
The next step is to sift the dry ingredients together before we add them to the batter. Place the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Grab yourself a large bowl. Place the dry ingredients into a sifter and sift them into the larger bowl. We’re going to add the sifted dry ingredients to the batter alternately with the sour cream. It’s going to look like this: flour , sour cream, flour, sour cream and then the last batch of flour. Always start with an addition of flour and end with an addition of flour. Beat each addition of flour and sour cream into the batter until it’s just incorporated as you go.
Pour half of that gorgeous ,thick, creamy batter into a greased tube pan also known as an Angel Food Cake Pan. Spread it out into the pan so it’s even. It’s time to make the topping that goes in the middle and on top of the cake.
Place 1 cup chocolate chips, 1/2 cup chopped nuts, 3/4 cup light brown sugar, 2 Tablespoons of softened butter and 1 Tablespoon of cinnamon in a medium size bow. Mix it all together with a spatula or get your fingers in the bowl and rub everything together. That’s my favorite way of mixing it. Spread half of the topping over the batter in the pan evenly. Place the remaining batter over the filling, then place the remaining topping over the batter.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire. To get the cake out of the pan run a butter knife around the sides of the pan and remove the outer pan. Run a butter knife around the bottom of the pan and down the sides of the tube in the center to release the cake and invert it onto a serving plate.
You are going to absolutely love ever moist, tender morsel of Jewish Coffee Cake, it what’s for dessert and it’s delicious, ENJOY!

I too would have eaten this off the floor. Looks so wonderfully rich and decadent.
You had me at putting chocolate chips in the streusel topping. Oh my god, does this look amazing.
Thank you Julie!
This cake is surely going to be my next try. Love the flavors and Nuts added to it. Looks moist and delicious.
That topping looks amazing!
You’ve outlined the instructions for this recipe so perfectly, it’s fool-proof! I appreciate the time you took to take such beautiful process shots! This cake is gorgeous!
This looks scrumptious! My family will love this.
Love it! First saw this recipe in a community cookbook years ago. It was contributed by the great Dinah Shore. She loved golf so it was appropriately called “Losers Coffeecake.
Thank you Joan
Probably wouldn’t have used as much butter or sugar, but the chocolate chips are a winner! (I may’ve added coffee powder for an extra kick to go with a pot of fresh coffee -consumed fresh from the oven, or warmed for tea time!)
