    Recipe Introduction


    Be sure to begin the layering with the batter. Putting the streusel mixture first produces a sticky cake that is difficult to remove from the pan.


    List of Ingredients


    • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, room temperature
    • 2 cups granulated sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1 cup sour cream
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • Streusel Mixture:
    • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
    • 1 1/2 tsps ground cinnamon
    • 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
    • Glaze:
    • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
    • 1 1/2 T milk
    • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract


    Instructions


    1. Preheat the oven to 350. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube or bundt pan.
    2. Use an electric mixer to cream the butter and granulated sugar together until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the flour to the butter mixture in thirds, alternating each addition of flour with the addition of half the sour cream. Stir in the vanilla.
    3. In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and the pcans.
    4. Pour one-third of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with half the streusel mixture. Pour another third of the batter into the pan and sprinkle with the remaining streusel mixture. Scrape the remaining batter into the pan and smooth the top. Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and cool on a wire rack.
    5. When the cake is completely cooled, stir the glaze ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
