Cinnamon Sour Cream Cake

It’s safe to say I came out of the womb loving this cinnamon sour cream cake. Legit.

Sour Cream Cake

My grandma used to make this for my dad when he was a little boy. When he got married, my mom perfected it. I say “perfected” loosely because, it can be a little bit of a fickle cake. Fickle as in …. it refuses to come out of the bundt pan. But no matter what – pretty or ugly, this cake is divine.

Sour Cream Cake

Put simply, it’s basically a pound cake. But not just ANY pound cake. It’s layered with little swirls of cinnamon, sugar, and walnuts. The bundt pan gives the outside a slightly crunchy texture, but the inside stays soft and moist. My favorite part is the extra cinnamon and sugar on the bottom of the cake. I mean seriously though. It’s too yum.

Sour Cream Cake

We’ve made this cinnamon sour cream cake in many different pans (angel food, bundt, loaf) and the best option, BY FAR, is the bundt cake. It looks the prettiest, the texture is perfect, and it’s just classic.

Cinnamon Sour Cream Cake

My mom makes this event for every birthday or special event. The rule of thumb is this: If it’s important, the cake won’t turn out (it’ll fall or not come out of the pan nicely). If it’s going to be given away or doesn’t matter (I know that sounds rude, but you know what I mean) then it turns out perfectly. Happens EVERY SINGLE TIME. Without fail. It’s pretty funny actually.

Cinnamon Sour Cream Cake

My siblings and I went through a phase when we wanted Dairy Queen cakes for our birthday parties – gross, right? But we’d always request this Cinnamon Sour Cream cake as well because a) it’s tradition and b) it’s TOO. DANG. YUMMY.
