Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch bundt pan or a 9x9-inch square baking dish.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped walnuts (if using) to create the cinnamon-sugar swirl.

Step 7

Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter.

Step 8

Add the remaining batter on top, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.

Step 9

Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the batter in a swirled pattern.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Slice and serve the cake warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with coffee or tea!
