directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour an 8 cup kugelhopf pan (I don't know what that pan is). In a medium bowl, sift the flour with 1/2 teaspoons of the cinnamon, the baking powder, baking soda and the salt.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter at medium speed until creamy. Beat in 1 cup of the sugar. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla and brandy. Alternately beat in the sour cream and the dry ingredients in 3 batches at low speed.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes until done.
- Transfer the cake to a wire rack set over a sheet of wax paper and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Invert the cake onto the rack and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar. Let cool completely before serving.

With the swirled fluting, this is the rich woman's version of the Bundt pan. Traditionally used for German kugelhopfs (coffee cakes dusted with powdered sugar), this pan will turn a standard Bundt cake into an elegant dessert with no added effort. According to http://www.realsimple.com/

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
