1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 3/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg

1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup beer (any variety)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with baking spray with flour, or generously grease with shortening and lightly flour.

  • In large bowl, beat butter, 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. On low speed, beat in sour cream until blended. On lowest speed of mixer, alternately add flour mixture and beer, beating until well blended.
  • Using about 1 1/2 cups batter, make small ring of batter around bottom of pan. Sprinkle half of the filling over batter. Repeat with another 1 1/2 cups batter and remaining filling. Cover with remaining batter.
