  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar (100 grams)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • Tiny pinch of salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cubed into small pieces (85 grams)
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar (70 grams)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled (220 grams)

  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and spray a 9-inch square metal pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. For the streusel topping, mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Cut in cubed butter until crumbly, then refrigerate.
  3. For the cinnamon sugar filling, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon for the cake. Set aside.
  5. In a stand mixer or large bowl, beat butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (3-4 minutes).
  6. Mix in the eggs one at a time, scraping the bowl, then add vanilla extract.
  7. Add half of the dry ingredients and mix on low until just combined. Add sour cream and mix until combined, then add the remaining dry ingredients until just mixed.
  8. Scoop half of the batter into the pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar filling. Top with large spoonfuls of remaining batter and spread gently.
  9. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the cake.
  10. Bake for 40-50 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Adjust baking time according to the type of pan used.
  11. Cool the cake in the pan for 45 minutes to 1 hour before slicing and enjoying.
