Ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup dark brown sugar

- 3 1⁄3 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 1 cup cold butter, divided
- 1⁄2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 1⁄2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1⁄2 tsp. salt
- 1 cup sour cream
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 10-inch tube pan.
- Make filling by combining the brown sugar, cinnamon, 1⁄3 cup flour, and 1⁄4 cup butter with fingertips until crumbly. Stir in nuts. Set aside.
- For the batter: Cream together 3⁄4 cup butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and beat them in to form a smooth batter. Separately, mix together 3 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, using a whisk.
- Add flour mixture alternately with sour cream to the butter/egg mixture until all is incorporated. Layer half the batter in the pan; sprinkle it with the filling mixture. Layer the rest of the batter on top.
