Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 0.25 cups All-purpose flour (for streusel topping)
- 2 tablespoons Packed brown sugar (for streusel topping)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for streusel topping)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, cold and cubed (for streusel topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour two 8x4-inch loaf pans or line them with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sour cream together using a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped pecans or walnuts (if using) to make the filling.
Spoon half of the batter into the prepared loaf pans, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar filling over the batter.
Top with the remaining batter, spreading it out gently, and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon-sugar filling.
In another small bowl, prepare the streusel topping by mixing the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top of the loaves.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean.
Allow the loaves to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or tea! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
