Ingredients
1 cup butter softened (2 sticks)
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1/2 tsp vanilla (we use Madagascar!)
2 cups sifted Swan's Down or other cake flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 cup RTK granola - crunched up!
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter, sugar & eggs. Mix in sour cream & vanilla. Sift together, then fold in dry ingredients - flour, baking powder & salt. Spoon 1/2 batter into a greased bundt pan. Sprinkle with 1 cup of Rainbow Trout Kitchen granola. Spoon the remaining batter on top. Bake for 1 hour.
To turn it onto a plate: After baking, let it sit for 20 minutes so that it is not cool, but no longer hot. Loosen the top edges gently with a sharp knife. Put a plate on top of the pan and turn it over! Voila! There you have it - gorgeous and delicious!
