Yield Makes 1 ten-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups sour cream (or 1 cup buttermilk)
Pecan-Streusel Filling
2 1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a bowl; set aside. Butter a 10-inch Bundt pan (or other tube pan with 3-quart capacity); set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Add vanilla; stir until combined. Add the reserved flour mixture and sour cream, and stir just until well combined. Spoon half the batter into the bottom of the prepared pan. Make a well in the batter, and crumble 2/3 of the streusel mixture into the well. Top with remaining batter, smoothing top. Sprinkle remaining streusel evenly over the top. Bake until golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean, about 1 hour.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and milk until well combined; set aside, covered with plastic wrap, until ready to use. Cool cake until just warm before drizzling with icing.

I'm not sure about this recipe. It seems like it would be too sweet.

I had some trouble getting the streusel topping to crumble. It ended up being more like a paste.

This streusel cake was a hit with my family! The streusel topping was perfectly crispy and sweet, and the cake itself was moist and flavorful.
