Ingredients
Scale
Cake Batter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Streusel Topping
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
- Prepare Cake Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, beat sugar and softened butter until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing until combined.
- Mix Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Layer and Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round or square baking pan. Pour half the cake batter into the pan, sprinkle half the streusel evenly on top. Add remaining batter, then top with remaining streusel. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla or almond extract to the streusel topping.
- You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangier taste and healthier option.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for a week.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with coffee or tea.
