1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
2. Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a bowl; set aside.
3. Butter a 10-inch Bundt pan (or other tube pan with 3-quart capacity); set aside.
4. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
5. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, until well combined.
6. Add the vanilla; stir until combined.
7. Add the reserved flour mixture and sour cream, and stir just until well combined.
8. Spoon half the batter into the bottom of the prepared pan.
9. Make a well in the batter, and crumble 2/3 of the streusel mixture into the well.
10. Top with the remaining batter, smoothing the top.
11. Sprinkle the remaining streusel evenly over the top.
12. Bake until golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean, about 1 hour.
13. In a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners sugar and milk; set aside, covered with plastic wrap, until ready to use.
14. Cool the cake until just warm before drizzling with icing.
15. Combine the sugars, pecans, flour, cinnamon, and cloves in a medium bowl.
16. Using your hands or a pastry cutter, cut in the butter until well combined and crumbly; refrigerate until ready to use.
