Steps:
- Combine the granulated and dark brown sugars, walnuts, flour, vanilla, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Add the butter and stir to make moist, coarse crumbs; set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line the bottom of an 8-inch square cake pan with parchment paper; butter the paper and the sides of the pan.
- Sift the flour, baking soda, pie spice and salt into a medium bowl. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition; beat in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the sour cream in 2 parts, beginning and ending with the flour and mixing well between additions.
- Spread 2/3 of the batter in the prepared pan and sprinkle with half the crumbs. Top with the remaining batter and crumbs. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean and the top has browned, about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
- Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Invert out of the pan and then turn crumb-side up to cool completely.

PEAR WALNUT SPICE CAKE
Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the raisins in a bowl and toss them with 2 tablespoons of the flour until lightly coated (this will prevent them from sinking in the cake batter during baking).
- To make the cake: Beat the eggs and sugar in a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer) until fluffy. With the mixer running, slowly pour in the vanilla and the oil. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice. Mix into the egg mixture. Mix in the pears and nuts, then stir in the raisins by hand, distributing them evenly in the batter. Spoon into a 10-inch tube pan and bake about 45 to 60 minutes, until springy and dry in the center. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack, then turn it out. Freeze until ready to use or just wrap and store for up to 2 days.
- To make the glaze: Stir the maple syrup and sugar together in a bowl. Glaze the cooled cake by spooning the glaze around the tops of the cakes and letting it drip down the sides.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better your cake will taste. Look for fresh walnuts, spices, and butter.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
