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

  1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    • Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray. Set aside.

  2. Make the Streusel:

    • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.

    • Add the cold butter pieces and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.

  3. Prepare the Cake Batter:

    • In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

    • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.

  4. Assemble the Cake:

    • Spread half of the cake batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.

    • Sprinkle half of the streusel mixture over the batter.

    • Carefully spread the remaining batter over the streusel layer.

    • Top with the remaining streusel, spreading it evenly.

  5. Bake the Cake:

    • Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before adding the glaze.

  6. Make the Glaze:

    • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth.

    • Drizzle the glaze over the slightly cooled cake.

  7. Serve:

    • Slice the cake into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best results.

For a richer glaze, substitute milk with heavy cream.
