Preparing Dough
Proof yeast by mixing 1 tablespoon sugar in 1/3 cup warm water. Mix in yeast and set aside.
Cream 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon sugar in stand mixer bowl. Add whisked egg and mix well.
Mix baking soda in sour cream and add to butter, sugar, and egg mixture.
Add dry ingredients, yeast, and lemon juice to mixing bowl and combine with wet ingredients.
Mix well. Switch to a dough hook and knead on level 2 for approximately 10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth. Dough will be slightly wet and sticky to the touch. Resist adding additional flour.
Drizzle a clean mixing bowl with olive oil and use a paper towl to coat the entire internal surface.
Add the dough to the oil treated mixing bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Place bowl in a dark and warm spot to allow dough to rise for apporximately 90 minutes. Look for the dough to double in size.
Forming the Cake Ring
Press and roll dough into a large rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Spread 2 tablespoons melted butter on surface of the dough.
Sprinkle an even coating of the filling mixture (1/2 cup of sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon).
From the long side of the dough, begin to tightly roll dough into a log. The dough may still be sticky so coat your hands in flour or oil if needed. Once a log is formed, connect dough ends to form a ring.
Spray bundt pan with cooking spray. Transfer dough ring to bundt pan.
Streusel Topping
Mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted shortening until well blended.
Sprinkle topping evenly over cake.
Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm area of kitchen to rise.
Allow dough to rise for approximately 1 hour until double in size.
Bake on lower rack of oven for 20 minutes until internal temperature reaches 200 degrees F.
Take a knife and carefully run along the edge of the pan to loosen cake.
Take a rack and place over the cake. Flip upside down and then transfer streusel side up to a serving plate.
Mix icing ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over cake while warm.
