Preparing the Cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup Bundt pan with butter. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, walnuts, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a stand mixer, cream together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract, flour mixture, and sour cream. Finally, add the brown sugar mixture and mix until just combined.

Baking and Cooling

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

The Perfect Glaze

For an added layer of flavor, prepare the rum glaze by combining powdered sugar, light rum, unsalted butter, water, and vanilla extract in a medium saucepan. Whisk until the sugar dissolves and bring to a simmer. Let cool to room temperature before drizzling over the cooled cake. If the glaze seems too thin, add sifted powdered sugar until it reaches the desired consistency.

Serving and Pairing Suggestions

Dust the cake with powdered sugar just before serving. For a luxurious treat, pair with a glass of 1999 Hetszolo Tokaji Aszu 3 Puttonyos from Hungary. The notes of dried caramel, orange peel, and honey perfectly complement the nutty and spice-box nuances of this dessert.
