Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Yellow cake mix
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup White granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Butter
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, sour cream, and vegetable oil. Mix well until the batter is smooth and evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, make the streusel topping by combining the brown sugar, white granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and all-purpose flour. Use a fork or pastry cutter to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle half of the streusel mixture evenly over the batter.
Pour the remaining cake batter on top of the streusel layer and carefully spread it out with a spatula.
Sprinkle the remaining streusel evenly across the top of the cake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly. Optionally, dust the top with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite coffee or tea. Enjoy!
