Instructions

1. Prepare the Batter:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, 1 cup of sour cream, 4 large eggs, and 1/2 cup of vegetable oil. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until well blended. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick. 🍰🔄

2. First Layer:

   • Spread half of the batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan. Make sure to spread it evenly to cover the bottom of the pan. This will form the base layer of your coffee cake. 🥄🧁

3. Add the Cinnamon Sugar Ribbon:

   • In a separate small bowl, combine 2/3 cup of brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon. Mix well until the cinnamon is evenly distributed through the sugar. Sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter in the pan. This will create the delicious ribbon of flavor in the coffee cake. 🍯🌿✨

4. Second Layer:

   • Carefully spread the remaining half of the batter over the cinnamon sugar layer. This can be a bit tricky, so take your time to spread it as evenly as possible, covering all the sugar. 🥄🧁🔄

5. Bake:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. The cake should be golden brown and the kitchen will be filled with the wonderful aroma of cinnamon and sugar. 🍰🔥

6. Prepare the Icing:

   • While the cake is baking, prepare the icing. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of milk, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy. If the icing is too thick, you can add a little more milk, a few drops at a time, until you reach the desired consistency. 🍚🥛🌸

7. Drizzle the Icing:

   • Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly in the pan for about 10 minutes. While the cake is still warm, drizzle the icing over the top. You can use a spoon or a piping bag to create a beautiful pattern. The icing will melt slightly and soak into the cake, adding an extra layer of sweetness. 🍰✨🍯

8. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Slice the coffee cake into 16 pieces and serve. This Ribbon Coffee Cake is best enjoyed warm, but it can also be served at room temperature. It pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea, making it the perfect treat for any occasion. ☕🍰💕

This Ribbon Coffee Cake is a delightful treat that combines the moist, tender texture of a classic coffee cake with a rich, sweet ribbon of cinnamon sugar. The creamy icing drizzled on top adds the perfect finishing touch, making this cake not only delicious but also visually appealing. Whether you’re sharing it with co-workers, family, or friends, this coffee cake is sure to be a hit. Enjoy every bite of this sweet and cinnamony delight! 🎂🌟🍰
