Ingredients
Scale
- STREUSEL
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter (COLD) cut into small pieces
- CAKE
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- GLAZE
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tbsp whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9×9 baking pan and set aside.
- To a small mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt and cold butter. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your hands, mix until it forms pea-sized clumps. Refrigerate.
- In a small mixing bowl, add dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt), and whisk to combine. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Beat in one egg at a time. Beat in vanilla extract.
- Add 1/3 of the flour mixture. Beat together. Add in 1/3 of the sour cream. Beat together. Continue these steps two more times until everything is incorporated and blended well.
- Add half the cake batter to prepared pan, spreading evenly. Add half the refrigerated streusel, spreading in an even layer.
- Top with remaining cake batter, then the last half of the streusel on top.
- Bake for about 55 minutes. The top should be golden brown and when a toothpick is inserted into the center, it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and let cool on wire rack.
- While your cake cools, make your glaze by whisking together the milk and powdered sugar.
- Drizzle with desired amount of glaze and enjoy.
Notes
- Ensure your butter for the streusel is cold for the best texture.
- Cool the cake completely before adding the glaze for a prettier finish.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
