Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour (for streusel)
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups of flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of granulated sugar and 0.5 cup of softened butter using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the sour cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
In a separate bowl, prepare the streusel topping by mixing 0.75 cup of brown sugar, 0.5 cup of flour, and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Spread half of the cake batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle half of the streusel over the batter.
Spread the remaining cake batter over the streusel layer and gently smooth the surface. Top with the remaining streusel.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, make the glaze by whisking together 0.5 cup of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the cake is finished baking, allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cake before serving.
Cut into squares and enjoy!
