I can't say enough about this cake, it is moist, dense and buttery!... I have made this using mini chocolate chips and just recently made it with dried cranberries, I plan on making this for the holidays to serve to guests! I baked mine in a tube pan. Since I am making this cake again for the holidays, I plan on adding in some red food colouring in the glaze, and I will chop up frozen or fresh cranberries and add them into the cake batter, but that is only optional. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts |
1 1/4 cups firmly packed light brown sugar |
5 teaspoons cinnamon |
6 teaspoons sifted cocoa powder |
1/2 cup dried cranberries |
3 cups cake flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup butter, softened (no subs!) |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
3 large eggs |
1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla |
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream |
2 cups powdered sugar |
3 -4 tablespoons whipping cream |
red food coloring (optional) |
Directions:
1. Set oven to 350°.
2. Generously butter a 12-cup Bundt pan (can use a tube pan also).
3. In a bowl mix together all streusel ingredients; set aside.
4. For the cake: sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
5. In a large bowl using an electric mixer cream the butter and sugar with vanilla for 5-6 minutes.
6. Beat in eggs one at a time until well blended.
7. Add in sour cream until well blended.
8. Mix in the flour mixture alternately into butter mixture in 3 additions; then beat on high speed for 1 minute.
9. Pour 1/3 of the batter into prepared baking pan.
10. Sprinkle with half of the streusel mixture.
11. Spoon another 1/3 batter over the streusel mixture.
12. Sprinkle with remaining streusel mixture, and then spoon the remaining batter over.
13. Bake cake for about 1 hour or until cake tests done (it might take more or less time to bake).
14. Cool for about 15 minutes, then carefully run a knife around the sides of the pan to loosen cake.
15. Turn the cake out onto a rack to cool completely.
16. In a bowl whisk together the confectioners sugar and 2 tablespoons whipping cream adding/whisking in more whipping cream to create a THICK glaze (make sure it is thick enough to cling to the cake).
17. Drizzle over the cake.
