Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., pecans or walnuts)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a 9-inch bundt or tube pan.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 5

Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

In a separate small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped nuts to make the streusel.

Step 8

Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle half of the streusel mixture over the batter.

Step 9

Add the remaining cake batter, spreading it carefully to cover the streusel layer. Top with the remaining streusel mixture.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Optional: Sprinkle powdered sugar over the top of the cooled cake before serving for a decorative finish.

Step 13

Slice and enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea!
