Ingredients
For the Cake:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Cinnamon Streusel Topping:
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract and sour cream.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- In a medium bowl, prepare the streusel by combining brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Stir in melted butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Spread half of the batter into the baking dish. Sprinkle half of the streusel topping over it, add remaining batter, then finish with the rest of the streusel.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly before serving.
