Ingredients

   Cake

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine
• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup sour cream

   Topping

• 1/3 cup slivered almonds
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon

   Garnish

Grease tube or snap (spring) form pan; preheat oven to 350° F. Set out the margarine, butter and eggs to come to room temperature. Sift together flour, baking powder and soda, and salt.

Cream margarine, butter and sugar until light and fluffy in blender. Beat in the eggs; beat in the vanilla. Add the dry ingredients alternately with sour cream, scraping the bowl often with rubber spatula.

Combine the almonds, brown sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Spoon half of batter into pan. Sprinkle with half of the topping. Add the remaining batter and sprinkle with the remaining topping. Bake 45 minutes. (Do not open oven during baking.) Cool; turn out onto plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Enjoy!
