Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan thoroughly.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, chopped nuts, and cinnamon to make the filling and topping.
Pour half the batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread evenly.
Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-nut mixture over the batter.
Spread the remaining batter on top and sprinkle with the rest of the cinnamon-nut mixture.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature with coffee or tea.

Notes

Swap pecans or walnuts with sliced almonds or omit for a smoother texture.

Add a vanilla glaze or powdered sugar dusting for a festive look.

A pinch of nutmeg can enhance the cinnamon flavor.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.

Freeze individual slices for up to 2 months.

To reheat, microwave a slice for 15–20 seconds.
