Ingredients
  

For the Streusel

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed (54 grams)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, (64 grams )
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • Dash salt
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
  • 3/4 cup pecans, finely chopped

For the Cake

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, (333 grams )
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, (170 grams), softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, (297 grams)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup milk

For the Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Prep the Oven and Pan: Heat the oven to 350 F and grease and flour a 10-inch tube cake pan.
  • Streusel: Combine the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and a dash of salt in a medium bowl. Cut in the 3 tablespoons of butter to make a crumbly streusel mixture.
  • Dry Ingredients: Combine 2 1/2 cups of flour, baking powder, soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Batter: In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together for 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract and sour cream. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients and beat just until combined.

  • Assembly: Spoon half of the batter into the prepared tube cake pan. Sprinkle about two-thirds of the streusel mixture over the batter, then top evenly with small dollops of the remaining batter. Gently spread the batter over the filling. Sprinkle the remaining streusel evenly over the top.

  • Glaze: Combine the glaze ingredients in a small bowl and drizzle over the cooled cake.
