Amy Sedaris Cinnamon Sour Cream Cake Tips from I Like You

Amy Sedaris' Cinnamon Sour Cream cake

You will be putting the cake into a cold oven and then setting the temperature to 180c/350F/Gas 4 and baking for 55 minutes. You will a 9 inch greased tube pan. This is a pan that creates a ring shaped cake

Sprinkle half the nut mixture (below) over the batter.

Then spoon the rest of the thick batter on top of that and top with remaining nut mixture. I just put the nut mixture in the middle, I didn't really see any point in having the sugary nut mixture on the bottom of the cake.

For the nut mixture I use a small hand nut grinder. Grind 120g of finely chopped walnut meats and mix with 1 1/4 teaspoons of cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of sugar.
