Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (F). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment cream the butter, sugars, and lemon zest together for 4 to 5 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs 1 at a time, then add the vanilla and sour cream.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture to the batter until just combined. Finish stirring with a spatula to be sure the batter is completely combined and there are no large pockets of dry ingredients.
For the streusel:
Place the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and butter in a bowl and lightly pinch together with your fingers until it forms a crumble. Mix in the walnuts.
Assembly:
Spoon half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out with a spatula. Sprinkle 3/4 cup of the streusel on top. Spoon the remaining batter into the pan, spread it out, and scatter the remaining streusel on top. Bake for about 60 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
Let cake cool a few minutes in the pan, then on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.
When ready to serve, carefully transfer the cake, streusel side up, onto a serving plate.
Combine the white chocolate chips and lemon juice in a small bowl and melt in the microwave on low until chips and lemon juice can easily be whisked together. Using a fork drizzle over cake before serving.
