Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup Kahlua (coffee liqueur)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup brown sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan, ensuring all crevices are well-coated to prevent sticking.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and Kahlua.

Step 5

Slowly alternate adding the dry flour mixture and sour cream to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined—avoid overmixing.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Pour half of the batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Sprinkle half of the crumble mixture evenly over the batter.

Step 8

Pour the remaining batter on top, followed by the remaining crumble mixture, ensuring an even coating.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before gently inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice the cake and serve! Enjoy it on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
