Make Cake and Assembly:
Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. Cream butter. Add vanilla and sugar and beat a minute or two. Add eggs individually, beating thoroughly after each.
Keep mixture smooth, scraping as necessary, and beat at high speed for a minute or so until mixture is light and creamy. On lowest speed alternately add dry ingredients in 3 additions and sour cream in 2 additions, scraping and beating until smooth after each addition.
Spread a thin layer of the batter in bottom of pan. Sprinkle with about 1/3 of the nut filling.
Continue making layers, 4 of the batter and 3 of the filling, ending with batter. It takes patience to spread the batter thin. It's easier if the batter is placed on by many small spoonfuls and then spread with the back of a spoon. Bake for 50 or 60 minutes in preheated 375°F oven.
