Ingredients
The Cake
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup full-fat sour cream
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder

The Crumb Topping
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups light brown sugar packed
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter melted
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Grease a 9x13” pan. Preheat oven to 350℉.
- For crumb topping: in a large bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt with a fork. Add melted butter and use fork to mix butter into the mixture until just combined into a chunky, crumbly topping. Set aside.
- For cake: in the bowl of a mixer, cream together butter and sugar for about 90 seconds on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Add sour cream, eggs, and vanilla. Mix on low until combined, scraping down side of bowl as needed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
- Add flour mixture to wet ingredients in mixer. Combine on low speed until just incorporated. Don’t over-mix! Batter will be sticky.
- Scoop batter into prepared pan, spreading out in an even layer.
- Add crumb topping in an even layer to top of batter. Don’t press crumb into batter (let it rest on top).
- Bake at 350℉ for 40-50 minutes, until crumb is set and a toothpick inserted in center of the cake comes out with few moist crumbs.
- Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing and digging in!
