1 1/4 cups coarsely chopped walnuts
1 1/4 cups (packed) golden brown sugar
4 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 1/2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
6 tablespoons dried currants
3 cups cake flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 1/2 cups sugar
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 16-ounce container sour cream
