In a separate bowl mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix the dry into the wet, while alternately mixing in the sour cream. Mix together the topping in a separate bowl, tossing lightly. Grease and flour a regular-sized tube pan. Spread half the topping in the pan, then half the batter; sprinkle with the rest of the topping, and finish with the remainder of the batter. Bake the cake in a preheated 350 F oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool it for 10 to 15 minutes, then remove the cake from the pan. Place the cake right-side-up (topping up) on a plate to serve. If you make this in a 9 x 13-inch pan -- a handy, stable size for transporting to picnics or potlucks -- be aware that you'll have to spread the batter quite thinly to cover the bottom of the pan. Spoon half into the pan, using a rubber spatula to spread batter out evenly; sprinkle on half the topping; then drop the remaining batter, in spoonfuls, on top. Don't bother to try to spread it around; just sprinkle with the rest of the topping. CULINARY ARTS 37
