Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC) and grease a 10-inch tube pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream butter and 2 cups of sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in vanilla extract.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Add the dry ingredients alternately with the sour cream to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Beat just until smooth after each addition.
  7. Spread one-third of the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  8. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 3/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, and chopped walnuts.
  9. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar-nut mixture over the batter layer.
  10. Repeat layers: add another third of the batter, sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon mixture, then top with the final third of the batter.
  11. Bake for 70 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove the cake from the pan to cool completely.
