Method
 

Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a Bundt pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla and sour cream until smooth.
  5. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl for the swirl mixture.
  7. Pour half of the batter into the Bundt pan, sprinkle half of the swirl mixture, and layer with remaining batter and swirl mixture.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes before removing from pan.
  9. Dust the top with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
