For Cinnamon Walnut Swirl:

1cupwalnut,halves, roughly chopped
3tbsplight brown sugar,packed
2tspcinnamon

For Cake Batter:

2⅓cupsall purpose flour,spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off
½tspbaking soda
1tspsalt
2cupsgranulated sugar
1cupunsalted butter,(2 sticks) room temperature
3large eggs
8ozfull fat sour cream,(1 container)
1½tspvanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Toast the walnuts on a rimmed baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes, until they’re fragrant and golden brown.
Transfer the walnuts to a plate to cool. In a small bowl, mix together the walnuts, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside.
Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F. Spray a 9- or 10-in Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray and dust with flour.
Tap out any excess flour. Alternatively, spray the pan with a nonstick spray with flour in it, such as Baker’s Joy or Pam with Flour.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or beaters, combine the sugar and butter. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes, until pale and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture is homogenous. On low speed, mix in the sour cream and vanilla. The batter will look a little curdled at this point; that’s okay.
Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure all of the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Gradually add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until the batter is smooth and homogeneous.
Scoop ⅓ of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-walnut mixture evenly over the batter.
Cover with another ⅓ of the remaining batter, using a spoon or spatula to spread the batter evenly over the pan and to the edges. Sprinkle the remaining nut mixture evenly over the batter and cover with the remaining batter, spreading it evenly over the nut mixture.
Bake for 65 to 75 minutes, until the cake is golden and a cake tester comes out clean.
Cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes. Do not let the cake cool in the pan for much longer than this or the brown sugar in the streusel might stick to the sides of the pan and make it difficult to release the cake.
Place a wire rack on top of the Bundt pan and then invert the pan to release the cake. Let the cake cool completely before serving. The cake will keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
