"I have not tried this recipe. I got this recipe from Debbi Field's Great American Desserts. Check your cinnamon-it should be fresh and filled with flavor-and if you can, be sure to serve this cake still warm from the oven, when it is at its absolute best. I plan to use Splenda for baking and Splenda brown sugar."

ingredients

Cake
16 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 cups all-purpose flour
¹⁄₂ teaspoon baking powder
¹⁄₂ teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
¹⁄₂ cup sour cream
Syrup
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Streusel
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons (1 stick)

directions

Make The Cake:.
Preheat the oven to 350. Butter and flour the tube pan.
Put the butter and sugar in a bowl and cream together using the electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Scrape down the bowl. Add the vanilla and eggs, 1 at a time, beating for 20 seconds after each addition. Scrape down the bowl again.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add this mixture to the butter mixture in thirds, alternating with the sour cream. Beat for 45 seconds after each addition, and begin and end with the flour mixture. Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan.
Make The Syrup:.
In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Drizzle the syrup over the batter and with the blade of a knife or a skewer, swirl the syrup through the batter.
Make The Streusel:.
In a bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, and pecans. With a pastry cutter, cut in the butter, a few pieces at a time, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Scatter the streusel over the batter in the pan.
Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the pan from the oven to a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Square Meals Make Round People - Author Unknown Do It With Love---It Will Taste Better - Author Unknown I joined zaar in 2002 but I really didn't use it much on until 2006 after my computer crashed and I lost all my unsaved recipes. Now I post all recipes I've tried or would like to try. I'm actually making it my goal to try almost all the recipes I've posted as soon as I can. I love food and I love to eat and try different recipes. My favorite course is dessert. I love sweets! This leads me to that I did have Gastric Bypass surgery on July 25th 2008. On that note I love baking and cooking a priceless gift passed down from my grammy who I dearly loved and miss deeply. My grammy passed away 1/15/07. She was a wonderful cook and baker and taught me many things and the most valueable things was how to be a wonderful cook and baker like her. I really enjoy searching for new recipes especially here on Zaar. I'm always finding and adding to my cookbook new and exciting recipes. I also enjoy posting recipes here on Zaar as well. I really love collecting different cookbooks. I have over a 100 and growing! I collect mostly Taste Of Home & community cookbooks. The minute I get a cookbook home I sit down and I read my cookbooks from front to back like novels. I work for the Elmira City School District and YWCA. I'm raising my 8 yrs old newphew. I'm a part time college student studing Early Childhood Education, but taking time off and hoping to return soon. I live in Elmira, New York where famous writer Mark Twain did some of his writing and he once lived. I have 1 cats Samantha and 1 dog our newest member MOO MOO (my nieces dog) who are my children as I do not have any human children of my own. I lost four of my very dear children (kitty's) Callie June 2007, Miss Kitty in March 2010, my dog Angel in December 2010, and my other cat Chase in September 2011. I'm recently married on August 12th 2010. I love spending time with my niece 9 yrs old and my newphews 7 & 8 yrs old. I enjoy couponing and trading coupons. I love the internet as there's so much to look at online even though you know where I spend most of my time! I enjoy going to yard sales and estate sales every spring - fall. I love gardening and have many different pretty flowers. 8724441"
