Ingredients
For the cake:

- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups sugar

Instructions
First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract, sour cream, and coffee and mix until combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
For the topping, combine the sugar, cinnamon, and nuts in a small bowl. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the top of the cake batter. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.
