Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan to prevent sticking.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Beat the softened butter with granulated sugar on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition. Then add sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  5. Gradually alternate adding the flour mixture and milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients, mixing gently after each addition.
  6. Pour half of the batter into prepared Bundt pan, sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon mixture, then pour remaining batter on top.
  7. Using a butter knife, gently swirl the batter to create marbling without fully combining layers.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
