Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Streusel Topping:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • For the Cake Batter:
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream
  • For the Optional Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk or cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Streusel: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  2. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the 1 3/4 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  4. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  5. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  6. Combine Wet and Dry: Alternate adding the dry ingredient mixture and the sour cream to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix only until just combined; do not overmix.
  7. Assemble the Cake: Spread half of the cake batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle half of the reserved streusel mixture evenly over the batter. Gently spread the remaining cake batter over the streusel layer. Sprinkle the remaining streusel mixture on top.
  8. Bake: Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool: Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  10. Make the Glaze (Optional): Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For an extra moist cake, you can layer a small amount of the streusel mixture between the two cake batter layers.
  • If you are planning your weekly meals, this cake pairs well with simple breakfast items, making meal planning easier.
