Cinnamon Walnut Bundt
If you’ve been reading Oven Love for any period of time (especially in the last few weeks), you’ll know that I’ve developed a crush on streusel. It seems like every recipe I want to make has some kind of streusel or crumb involved these days. So, naturally, my bundt choice included some nice crunchy streusel layers. Say hello to the Cinnamon Walnut Bundt!
Yum. Just look at that glaze dripping down.. this cake is staring me down every time I walk into the kitchen! It’s fairly easy to prepare and you’re likely to have all the ingredients in your pantry. Perfect with a cup of tea, or for breakfast, or with coffee, or for no reason at all but to eat another slice of it. It is on the sweeter side, though.. so pace yourself.
(based on recipe from McCormick)
Streusel Topping:
1 cup flour
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tbs cinnamon
1 stick cold butter, cut into chunks
1 cup chopped walnuts
Cake:
1 stick plus 2 tbs butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2/3 cup sour cream
4 eggs
1 tbs vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
2. For the Cake, beat softened butter, granulated sugar and sour cream in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla. Gradually beat in flour and baking soda on low speed until well mixed.
3. Spoon 1/2 of the Streusel Topping into greased and floured 12-cup Bundt pan. Spoon 1/2 of the batter over top. Repeat layers.
4. Bake 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack. Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar or drizzle with Vanilla Glaze, if desired.
Vanilla Glaze: Mix 1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar, 2 tablespoons water and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla in medium bowl until smooth. If necessary, stir in 1 to 3 additional teaspoons water until glaze is of desired consistency. Drizzle over cooled cake. Let stand until glaze is set.
What a great bundt! I wanted to make a bundt but never got around to buying a pan. I guess I will just drool over the thought of yours 🙂
I want to make this Bundt RIGHT NOW! I thought I was totally burnt out on bundts (say that 5 times fast), but everyone made such great Bundts on National Bundt Day that my list of Bundts to make just got so much longer! Thank you so much for baking along with me and spreading the Bundt love! I’m doing a round up later this week! – mary the food librarian
