Sour Cream Coffee Cake with Irish Cream
This sour cream coffee cake with Irish cream is a forever favorite.
This cinnamon and sugar layered sour cream coffee cake is made with a hint of Irish cream, but even better than that…
…it’s also served with Irish cream drizzled on top and around each slice…for adults only of course.
If preferred, it can also be served without the Irish cream drizzled on top because it tastes wonderful as is or even topped with softened butter.
Let’s check out the ingredients.
Irish cream, sugar, butter, flour, eggs, sour cream, vanilla extract, baking soda, double acting baking powder, and ground cinnamon
HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.
For the Cake Batter:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease the inside of an angel food cake pan with butter and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add softened butter…
…and sugar.
Next,
beat until light and fluffy.
To the mixing bowl, add flour,
sour cream,
Irish cream,
eggs,
baking powder,
baking soda,
and vanilla extract.
Beat with a mixer on low speed until all ingredients are blended…
…then continue mixing for another 3 minutes.
In the angel food cake pan, add half of the batter.
Use a spatula to even out the batter so that it’s level.
Set aside for a moment.
Cinnamon and Sugar Filling and Topping:
In a small bowl,
add cinnamon and sugar…
…stir together.
Using a spoon, sprinkle half of the cinnamon and sugar mixture evenly on top of the cake batter in the pan.
Top with the remaining cake batter.
Use a spatula to level out the batter.
Top the batter with the remaining cinnamon and sugar mixture (this will be the top of the cake).
Bake in a preheated oven (350 degrees F.) for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean when put in the middle of the cake.
TIP – The cake tends to dry out if cooked too long so it’s best to leave it a little moist.
Let the cake completely cool in the pan (about 1-1/2 hours).
Removing the Cake from the Pan:
After the cake has cooled, remove the cake from the outer part of the angel food cake pan by running a long thin-bladed knife between the cake and the inside of the pan.
Also run the knife between the middle of the cake and the funnel part of the pan.
Then, hold on to the middle funnel section of the pan and pull it from the outer part of the pan.
To remove the cake from the bottom and funnel part of the pan, run a long thin-bladed knife between the bottom of the cake and the pan.
Then using both hands, gently pull the cake from the funnel part of the cake pan and transfer it to a large flat plate or cutting surface.
Serve as is…
…or topped with softened butter…
…or, just before serving the cake…
…on a slice…
…drizzle Irish cream on top and around it on the plate.
And serve.

Instructions
For the Cake Batter:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease the angel food cake pan with butter and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the butter and sugar (for the cake batter). Beat until light and fluffy.
- To the mixing bowl, add flour, sour cream, Irish cream, eggs, baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla. Beat on low speed until blended. Then beat for 3 more minutes.
- In the angel food cake pan, pour half of the batter to form the first layer. Using a spatula or spoon, level off the batter (in the pan). Set aside for a moment.
For the Cinnamon and Sugar Filling and Topping:
- In a separate small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar (for the filling/topping). With a spoon, sprinkle half of the cinnamon and sugar mixture evenly on top of the batter that's in the pan.

Removing the Cake from the Pan:
