Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the Crumb Topping:

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×9-inch baking dish (or line with parchment).

  2. Make the cinnamon swirl:
    In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

  3. Make the crumb topping:
    In another bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a fork or pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Refrigerate until ready to use.

  4. Mix the cake batter:
    In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla and sour cream.
    In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix just until combined.

  5. Assemble the cake:
    Spread half the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon swirl mixture evenly on top. Add the remaining batter and gently spread to cover. Top with crumb mixture.

  6. Bake:
    Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. Cool and serve:
    Let cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Want to make it extra special? Drizzle with a simple vanilla glaze (powdered sugar + milk + vanilla).

  • Swap sour cream for Greek yogurt if needed.

  • Doubles well for a 9×13-inch pan.
