Sour Cream Pumpkin Bundt Cake

I made 3 of these this past weekend, one for the school carnival, one for home and one for work. It was so good. The 3rd one I made I left off the icing and just sprinkled powdered sugar and it was just as good. Also, left out the streusel step, we liked it better without it. Let's just say....all the cakes are gone already. And.....it makes your house smell wonderful.


A surprise filling of brown sugar streusel makes this pumpkin-flavored cake a special treat. Save a bit of icing for drizzling over each serving of this wonderful cake!

STREUSEL:
1/2 cup packed brown sugar1 teaspoon ground cinnamon1/4 teaspoon ground allspice2 teaspoons butter

COMBINE brown sugar, cinnamon and allspice in small bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or two knives until mixture is crumbly.

1 teaspoon salt
2 cups granulated sugar

TO ASSEMBLE: SPOON half of batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle Streusel over batter, not allowing Streusel to touch sides of pan. Top with remaining batter. Make sure batter layer touches edges of pan.
