Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions:

Set the oven to 350F 175C and heat it up

Butter and flour a pan that holds a pound cake

Mix the butter and sugar in a big bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy

Adding the eggs one at a time and mixing them in is the next step

Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a different bowl using a whisk

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones, mixing in the sour cream every so often

Don't mix any further than that

Put nuts, cinnamon, and brown sugar in a small bowl and mix them together

Set the pan aside and pour half of the batter into it

Then, sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top of it

Do it again with the rest of the batter and the cinnamon-sugar mix

Use a knife to swirl the batter to make it look like marble

Put it in the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean

Before cutting the cake into cubes, let it cool all the way down

Put cinnamon roll pound cake cubes in serving glasses and top with whipped cream or vanilla yogurt

Do this again and again until the glass is full

Add some whipped cream on top and a cinnamon stick for decoration
