Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep

2. Cream Butter & Sugar

3. Add Eggs & Vanilla

- Stir in vanilla extract.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Build the Batter
- Alternate adding dry ingredients and sour cream into the butter mixture.
- Mix until just combined.
6. Make Streusel
- Combine melted butter, brown sugar, walnuts, and cinnamon.
- Mix until crumbly and well combined.
7. Layer the Cake
- Pour half the batter into the bundt pan and smooth.
- Sprinkle streusel evenly over the batter and lightly press down.

8. Bake

9. Cool & Release
