How to Make Sour Cream Pumpkin Bundt Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
  2. **Make the Streusel:** In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice, and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts.
  3. **Make the Cake Batter:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Stir in 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1 cup sour cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Spoon half of the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Sprinkle evenly with the streusel topping, ensuring it doesn't touch the sides of the pan.
  9. Top with the remaining batter, making sure the batter reaches the edges of the pan.
  10. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cake cool in the pan for 30 minutes on a wire rack.
  12. Invert the cake onto the wire rack to cool completely.
  13. **Make the Glaze:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons orange juice or milk until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
  14. Sprinkle with extra chopped nuts, if desired.
