1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 10-inch fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with cooking spray. Coat with cinnamon sugar.

2

In a large bowl, beat the sugar and butter together using an electric mixer until fluffy.

3

Add the eggs, blending one at a time. Mix in the pumpkin pie spice and vanilla extract until well combined.

4

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

5

Gradually alternate adding the flour mixture and the sour cream to the egg mixture, starting and ending with the flour mixture.

6

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping.

7

Pour 1/3 of the cake mixture into the prepared pan. Top with 1/2 of the brown sugar mixture. Repeat the layering once more.

8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 40 minutes.

9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a plate.
