Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups sour cream
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 0.5 cups chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until the batter is smooth and thick, but do not overmix.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and walnuts (if using) to create the filling and topping.

Step 7

Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter.

Step 8

Add the remaining batter on top, smoothing it gently with a spatula. Finish by sprinkling the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before carefully removing it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve at room temperature. This cake pairs wonderfully with coffee or tea!
