by Dorothy

1 c sour cream

1 tsp baking soda

½ c butter or margarine

1 c sugar

2 eggs, well beaten

1 tsp vanilla

1 ¾ c flour

2 tsp baking powder

Topping:

¼ c brown sugar

1 tbsp cinnamon

2 tbsp chopped nuts

Grease and flour an 8 or 9” square pan. Combine sour cream and soda, and let it double in bulk. Blend the sugar and butter together, add eggs and vanilla and beat well. Mix the dry ingredients together and add to the egg mixture, alternating with the sour cream. Spread half the batter in the pan; sprinkle half of the topping over the batter. Cover with the rest of the batter and add the last of the topping.

Bake in a moderate oven (350 deg F) for 45-50 minutes. Serve hot or cold.
