    • 1 tsp baking soda
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1 cup sour cream
  • Cinnamon Swirl:
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/4 cup brown sugar
    • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Crumb Topping:
    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/4 cup brown sugar
    • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
    • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
  2. Make the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
  4. Alternately add the flour mixture and sour cream to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour.
  5. Make the cinnamon swirl: In a small bowl, mix sugars and cinnamon.
  6. Make the crumb topping: In another bowl, combine flour, sugars, cinnamon, and melted butter until crumbly.
  7. Spread half the batter in prepared pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture. Top with remaining batter and swirl gently with a knife.
  8. Sprinkle crumb topping evenly over batter.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  10. Cool in pan for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra moisture, substitute buttermilk for sour cream.
  • Add 1/2 cup chopped nuts to the crumb topping for extra crunch.
  • Cake can be stored at room temperature for 2 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
  • For muffins: Divide batter among 12 lined muffin cups and bake for 18-20 minutes.
