Instructions
 

The Preparation

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C). Generously grease your Bundt pan with butter or oil, making sure to coat every crevice and the center tube thoroughly to prevent sticking.

The Streusel

  1. In a small bowl, combine the 100 g light brown sugar, 30 g all-purpose flour, and 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon. Add the 30 g walnuts (if using) and 40 g unsalted butter and mix with a fork until crumbly. Set aside.

The Cake

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 254 g all-purpose flour, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 100 g light brown sugar. If using 54 g walnuts, stir them in now for added texture.

The Baking

  1. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Bundt cakes take longer than square pans because of their depth. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
