How to Make Sour Cream Streusel Coffee Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 cup currants.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup sour cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients and the sour cream mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating between the two and beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  8. Pour 1/3 of the batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  9. Sprinkle with half of the walnut mixture.
  10. Add another 1/3 of the batter, sprinkle with the remaining walnut mixture, and top with the remaining batter.
  11. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  13. While the cake is cooling, whisk together 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons milk until smooth.
  14. Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the powdered sugar glaze over the top and sprinkle with extra chopped walnuts.
  15. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
