Time 1h15m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup walnuts (finely chopped)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Combine the walnuts, 1 tsp cinnamon and 2 TB sugar together and set aside.
  • Mix the butter, sugar and eggs together until fluffy. Blend in the sour cream.
  • Sift the flour, soda and baking powder together. Mix into the creamed mixture and blend well. Add the vanilla.
  • Spoon half of the batter into a greased and floured tube or bundt pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon mix over the batter (the batter will be thick). Spoon in the remaining batter and top off with the remaining cinnamon mix.
  • Place the pan in a COLD oven. Set to 350 degrees, then bake for about 55 mins until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Serve warm or cold.

Tips:

  • Ensure accurate measurements: Use a kitchen scale to measure ingredients for precise results.
  • Soften butter adequately: Butter should be at room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth batter.
  • Cream butter and sugar thoroughly: This step incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a light and fluffy cake.
  • Add eggs one at a time: Gradually incorporate eggs, mixing well after each addition to avoid curdling.
  • Sift dry ingredients: Sifting flour and other dry ingredients ensures even distribution and prevents lumps.
  • Do not overmix: Overmixing can result in a tough cake. Mix only until ingredients are combined.
  • Bake at the right temperature: Ovens vary, so adjust baking time as needed. Use a toothpick inserted into the cake center to check for doneness.
  • Cool completely before frosting: Allow the cake to cool completely before applying frosting to prevent it from melting.

Conclusion:

This delectable sour cream cinnamon cake offers a delightful combination of tangy and sweet flavors, elevated by the warmth of cinnamon. Its moist texture and tender crumb make it a perfect treat for any occasion. Follow the recipe's instructions carefully, implementing the provided tips, to achieve a truly exceptional sour cream cinnamon cake that will impress your taste buds and leave you craving more.
