This is a moist bundt-style cake flavored with vanilla, cinnamon, and brown sugar, layered with a nutty streusel filling and topped with a sweet glaze (optional). The sour cream adds richness and ensures a soft, tender crumb, making this cake incredibly satisfying without being overly sweet.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake Batter:

  • 12 tablespoons (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature

  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar

  • 3 extra-large eggs, room temperature

  • 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract

  • 1 ¼ cups sour cream

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prep the Pan

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan thoroughly.

Step 2: Prepare the Batter

  • In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream the butter and granulated sugar for 3-5 minutes, until light and fluffy.

  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition.

  • Mix in the vanilla extract.

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

  • Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Do not overmix.

Step 3: Prepare the Streusel Filling

  • In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped nuts.

Step 4: Assemble the Cake

  • Spoon half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

  • Sprinkle all of the streusel filling evenly over the batter.

  • Top with the remaining batter, spreading gently to cover the filling.

Step 5: Bake the Cake

  • Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  • Cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then carefully turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 6: Add Glaze (Optional)

 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth.

  • Drizzle over the cooled cake before serving.
