Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour (for cake)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.75 cups all-purpose flour (for streusel)
- 0.5 cups light brown sugar
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar (for streusel)
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups of flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
In a separate bowl, prepare the streusel topping by mixing together 3/4 cup of flour, light brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter with a fork until crumbly.
Pour half of the batter into the greased baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle half of the streusel mixture over the batter.
Spread the remaining batter over the first layer, then top with the rest of the streusel mixture.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy with your favorite cup of coffee or tea.
