Time Breakdown:

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a tube or bundt pan.

2. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy in a large mixing bowl using a hand or stand mixer.

3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder.

5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, blending well until fully incorporated.

6. In another bowl, stir 2 teaspoons of baking soda into the sour cream until well combined.

7. Add the sour cream mixture to the batter and blend well.

8. Stir in the chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

9. Pour approximately one-third of the batter into the prepared pan.

10. In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and 3 tablespoons of sugar to create the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

11. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.

12. Using a knife, gently swirl the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the batter to create a marbled effect.

13. Repeat the layering process with the remaining batter and cinnamon-sugar mixture, ending with a layer of batter on top.

14. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

15. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully removing it and transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

16. Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with confectioners’ sugar for a decorative finish.
