This cake is a wonderful texture with sour cream and cream cheese in the batter. It's so delicious that I think I might make it again for a party I'm going to next week. You want to pour the icing on while it's still hot so that it isn't too thick. The sugared nuts add a lot of whimsy to the cake and the leftover nuts make an awesome snack.
The recipe can be found here with links to the icing and sugared nut recipes. Alterations: I used cake flour and cake enhancer and unsalted butter. I also used a cup less nuts in the sugared nut recipe and cooked the nuts at a lower temperature for longer. I cooked the cake at a higher temperature for shorter and made some adjustments for high elevation.
