Ingredients
For the cake
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt*
For the filling
¼ cup brown sugar (light or dark)
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup slivered or sliced almonds, roughly chopped
For the icing (optional)
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat the inside of a bundt pan** with a generous amount of baking spray. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the filling ingredients. Set aside.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Cream together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla. Mix until combined. Add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
In the prepared bundt pan, evenly spread half of the batter. Sprinkle with the filling mixture. Top with the remaining batter. Bake for 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Place the pan on a wire rack and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
While the cake cools, whisk the icing ingredients together.
Invert the cake onto the cooling rack and allow to cool completely.
Place the cake onto a serving dish then drizzle with icing.
Notes
*Omit if using salted butter
**Don’t have a bundt pan? Use an 8″ square pan instead. Layer half the batter on the bottom and then top with half of the filling mixture. Layer on the remaining batter and top with the remaining filling. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
