Sour Cream Coffee Cake

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 (12 oz.) container of sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Topping Ingredients:
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Method:
In a mixer, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs to the mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture alternately with the sour cream and vanilla. Mix until combined.
Then pour half of the batter into a greased 9″x13″ baking pan, and sprinkle with half of the topping. Add the remainder of the batter on top, and sprinkle with the remaining topping. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.

Apple Cider Doughnut Holes

1 cup apple cider
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
5 1/2 cups flour, divided
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp cardamom
1/2 tsp kosher salt
Vegetable oil, for frying

mix together and set aside:
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp. cinnamon
(for rolling the donut holes in after frying)

In a small sauce pan, boil the apple cider down until it is reduced to 1/4 cup. Allow to cool. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs. Beat in the buttermilk and reduced apple cider.

In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 1/2 cups of the flour, the baking powder and soda, and the cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until combined. The dough will be very sticky.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead, adding in the additional flour (you may not need the full 2 cups), until the dough is no longer sticky. Roll out the dough to 1/2″ thickness, and using a 1″ cutter, cut out the doughnut holes. Re-roll the scraps of dough and continue cutting until there is no dough left.

In an electric fryer or a deep pan, add 3″ of vegetable oil. Fry several doughnut holes at a time, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the cooked doughnut holes to a paper towel-lined plate. Immediately roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Serve warm.

Biscuit Dough Donuts

Canola or Peanut oil, for frying

1/4 cup sugar
Icings:
2 cups confectioners' sugar, divided
5 tablespoons milk, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 cans large buttermilk biscuits
Assorted sprinkles

Directions
Heat 2 inches oil in a large pot or Dutch oven to 350 degrees F. In a shallow bowl, stir together the ground cinnamon and sugar and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, set aside. This is the vanilla icing. In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of confectioners' sugar, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder and 3 tablespoons of milk and set aside. This is the chocolate icing.
Lay out the biscuits on a cutting board and with a 1 1/2-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut out a hole from the middle of each biscuit. Fry them in the oil until golden and then flip with tongs to fry the other side. You can even fry the donut holes. Drain on paper towels and then toss in the cinnamon-sugar or ice and decorate with sprinkles, as desired.

I realize this is not a very healthy recipe, but if you have little kids they will LOVE it! My boys beg me to make these and they are so easy! We usually make these on holidays and then I get sprinkles for whatever holiday it is! What a wonderful recipe to get your kids in the kitchen with you!

This is a recipe that I make for my family every year on Christmas. I start it in the afternoon on Christmas Eve by cutting up the apples then finish it after I put all the presents under the tree. On Christmas morning all I have to do is pop it into the oven when we wake up and when we are done opening presents its ready!
