Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (for streusel), melted
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish or lightly coat it with nonstick spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Mix in the sour cream until combined, then gradually add the dry ingredients until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
In a separate bowl, prepare the streusel by combining the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, melted butter, and 1 cup of flour. Mix until crumbly. If using, fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts.
Spread half of the cake batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Sprinkle half of the streusel mixture evenly over the batter.
Spread the remaining cake batter over the streusel layer, carefully smoothing it out.
Finish by sprinkling the remaining streusel mixture evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing. If desired, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
