Instructions
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
Make the Glaze:
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
-
Drizzle the glaze over the slightly cooled cake.
-
-
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.
