Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 3 Eggs
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch bundt pan or a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition.

Step 4

Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 6

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

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped nuts to create the streusel topping and filling.

Step 8

Spread half of the cake batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle half of the streusel mixture over the batter.

Step 9

Add the remaining batter on top and smooth it out evenly. Finish by sprinkling the remaining streusel mixture over the top of the cake.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. If baked in a bundt pan, invert the pan to release the cake.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or tea!
