Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • For the Streusel:
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. To make the streusel, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Pour in the melted butter and mix with a fork until crumbly.
  7. Spread half of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle half of the streusel mixture over the batter.
  8. Carefully spread the remaining cake batter over the streusel layer.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining streusel mixture evenly over the top of the cake.
  10. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a dry cake.
  • Ensure your butter and sour cream are at room temperature for best results.
  • This cake can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • For an extra touch, drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
