Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to preheat at 350°F (175°C), creating the ideal environment for baking this luscious cake.
-
Make the Topping: In a mixing bowl, cream together 1/3 cup of butter and 1 cup of icing sugar until light and fluffy. This process should take a few minutes to achieve a creamy consistency.
-
Add Flavor to the Topping: Incorporate 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon, the zest from 1 fresh lemon, and both the chopped pecans and walnuts into the creamed mixture. Mix until combined; it’s perfectly fine if this mixture is not completely smooth. Set this aside as you prepare the batter.
-
Prepare the Batter: In a separate bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which will take about 4-5 minutes.
-
Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add 2 eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next. Follow this by mixing in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, which will lend a lovely aroma to your cake.
-
Sift Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, ensuring that all dry ingredients are well combined.
-
Mix Sour Cream and Baking Soda: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda with 1 cup of sour cream, stirring gently to mix.
-
Combine Ingredients: Start by stirring half of the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Follow this by adding the sour cream mixture, and then stir in the remaining dry ingredients until just combined.
-
Spread the Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly to create a uniform layer.
-
Add the Topping: Generously sprinkle the topping mixture over the batter, distributing it evenly across the surface.
-
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, signaling that it is perfectly baked.

Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm to enjoy its moist, flavorful texture, and watch as it becomes a favorite at your gatherings.
