More than just dessert, this tender cake also doubles as a breakfast option. Pair it with a strata or frittata to provide the perfect brunch for a friend.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Cooking spray
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine first 3 ingredients; set aside. Place granulated sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well-blended, about 5 minutes. Add egg whites, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in sour cream and vanilla. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, stirring well with a whisk. Gradually add flour mixture to sugar mixture; beat well. Spread half of batter into an 8-inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle half of walnut streusel over batter. Spread remaining batter over streusel. Top with remaining streusel.
Bake for 45 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool the cake on a wire rack.

my whole family loved it!! i did what other reviewers recommended and checked it at 30 minutes, it was nearly done and 45 minutes would have been far too long. I also substituted chocolate chips for the walnuts as my family prefers that! I always have problems only pouring in half -- i always poor more -- would love it if anyone has tips on that!

Love this recipe! Just to be careful I set the timer for 30 minutes then checked. It was completely done with 30 minutes of baking. Perfect dessert for my healthy geared family
