🥘Ingredients

For the Cake

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream

For the Cinnamon Swirl

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

For the Streusel Topping

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2Grease a 10-cup bundt pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray, making sure to coat all crevices, then dust lightly with flour and tap out the excess.
3In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
Set aside.
4In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
5Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
6Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour.
7Mix just until the batter is smooth and no streaks of flour remain, being careful not to overmix.
8In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour for the swirl.
9Spoon half of the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread it evenly.
10Sprinkle the cinnamon mixture over the batter, then spoon the remaining batter on top and gently spread to cover the filling.
11For the streusel, combine the flour and brown sugar in a small bowl.
12Cut in the cold butter pieces using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
13Stir in the pecans if using, then sprinkle the streusel evenly over the batter in the pan.
14Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the cake is golden brown and a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
15Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then invert onto the rack to cool completely before slicing.
