Yield Makes 1 ten-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups sour cream (or 1 cup buttermilk)
Pecan-Streusel Filling
2 1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a bowl; set aside. Butter a 10-inch Bundt pan (or other tube pan with 3-quart capacity); set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Add vanilla; stir until combined. Add the reserved flour mixture and sour cream, and stir just until well combined. Spoon half the batter into the bottom of the prepared pan. Make a well in the batter, and crumble 2/3 of the streusel mixture into the well. Top with remaining batter, smoothing top. Sprinkle remaining streusel evenly over the top. Bake until golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean, about 1 hour.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and milk until well combined; set aside, covered with plastic wrap, until ready to use. Cool cake until just warm before drizzling with icing.
