1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pan 2½ cups all-purpose flour 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda ½ tsp kosher salt 1½ cups walnuts, chopped ¾ cup brown sugar ½ tsp ground cinnamon ½ cup raisins 1 cup granulated sugar 3 large eggs 2 tsp pure vanilla extract 1 cup sour cream 1 Up to 3 days in advance, heat oven to 375°F. Butter an angel food cake pan. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. 2 In a small bowl, combine the walnuts, brown sugar and cinnamon; transfer half to a second bowl and mix in the raisins. 3 Using an electric mixer, beat the sugar and 2 sticks butter to combine, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Mix in the sour cream until just combined (the batter should be very thick). 4 Scoop half the batter into the prepared pan, spreading to evenly distribute it, and sprinkle with the walnut mixture. Top with the remaining batter and sprinkle with the remaining topping. Bake for 30 minutes. 5 Reduce oven temperature to 300°F and bake until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes more. Let the cake cool completely in the pan. 6 Unmold the cake and wrap in plastic. Freeze for up to 3 days. An hour and 15 minutes before serving, let thaw to room temperature. If desired, warm in a 375°F oven.
