Ingredients

Scale

Crumb Topping:

1 cup (200g) packed light or dark brown sugar

1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted

2 1/2 cups (313g) all-purpose flour, spooned & leveled

Cake:

2 1/2 cups (313g) all-purpose flour, spooned & leveled

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

1 cup (200g) granulated sugar

3 large eggs, at room temperature

1 cup (240g) full-fat sour cream, at room temperature

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Optional: Confectioners’ sugar for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Pan:
    • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Make the Crumb Topping:
    • In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the melted butter. Add flour and gently mix with a fork until large crumbs form. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Cake Batter:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
    • In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together on high speed until creamy. Add eggs, sour cream, and vanilla; beat until combined (it may look curdled). Gradually add dry ingredients and mix on low until smooth.
  4. Assemble and Bake:
    • Spread cake batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle crumb topping over batter, pressing down gently.
    • Bake for 45-55 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness. If edges brown too quickly, cover with foil.
  5. Cool and Serve:
    • Let the cake cool on a wire rack for 30-45 minutes. Dust with confectioners’ sugar before slicing, if desired.

Notes

  • Crumb Consistency: Avoid over-mixing the crumb topping to keep it from becoming too pasty.
  • Storage: Store at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week. Individual slices can be frozen for up to 3 months.
