Recipe - Gouda Apple Coffeecake

2/3 cup Sour cream
1 One half teaspoon Baking soda
1 One half cup Allpurpose flour
One fourth teaspoon Salt
One fourth cup Butter
One half cup Sugar
1 Egg
One half teaspoon Vanilla
2 Green apples; peeled, thinly
cut or sliced up
6 ounce Gouda cheese
One half cup Pecans
One half cup Brown sugar

Preheat the oven to 375 F. Butter and flour a 9 inch square baking pan.
Combine the sour cream and baking soda and set aside. Sift the flour and
salt together. Cream the butter, add the sugar, and beat until light. Beat
in the egg and vanilla. Stir down the sour cream/soda mixture and add to
the butter mixture alternately with the dry ingredients, in 2 or 3
additions.

Cut the Gouda cheese into thin wedges to match the apple slices. Spread
half the batter in the pan and cover it with alternating rows of the apple
and Gouda slices, saving about 1/3 of them for the top. Cover with the rest
of the batter and finish off with remaining slices of apple and cheese,
arranging them symmetrically if you can. Chop the pecans and add the brown
sugar and blend to combine well. Sprinkle the pecan/sugar mixture over top
of the cake and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Let rest a few minutes, cut into
squares and serve warm.
