Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, divided
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a 9 by 9 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined.
- Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.
- In another bowl, combine remaining 1 cup flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in remaining butter until large crumbs form.
- Sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over batter and press lightly.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake tender.
- Let the cake cool slightly before cutting so the crumb topping sets properly.
- Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate up to 5 days.
