Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
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 the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In another small bowl, combine the brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and optional chopped nuts to use as the streusel topping. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and alternately add the flour mixture in thirds and the sour cream and milk in halves, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined—do not overmix.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Sprinkle half of the streusel topping evenly over the batter layer.
Gently spread the remaining batter over the streusel layer, and then sprinkle the remaining streusel mixture over the top.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
