Ingredients
Scale
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup unsalted butter (for glaze)
1 cup brown sugar, packed (for glaze)
1/3 cup heavy cream (for glaze)
1 tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)
1 cup mixed walnuts and pecans, roughly chopped (for topping)
2 tablespoons brown sugar (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt cake pan generously.
Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with sour cream. Add vanilla and mix until smooth.
Pour batter into bundt pan and bake for 45–50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before glazing.
For the glaze, melt butter in a saucepan, stir in brown sugar and cream. Bring to a boil, simmer 3–4 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla.
Drizzle glaze over cooled cake. Sprinkle chopped nuts and brown sugar on top. Let set before serving.
Notes
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Pair with a warm spiced tea or Turkish coffee.
Add sliced bananas or apples on the side for a fruity touch.
Don’t overmix the batter for a tender crumb.
Let the glaze thicken slightly before pouring for better texture.
Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter version.
