Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup softened butter and 1 cup granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Gradually alternate adding the dry ingredients and 1 cup of sour cream to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Cinnamon Layer
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon for the swirl layer.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top.
- Drizzle half of the melted butter over this layer and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly on top.
- Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon layer, smoothing it out and drizzle the remaining melted butter over the top.
Crumb Topping
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar for the crumb topping.
- Cut in 1/4 cup cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake batter.
Baking
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack before slicing.
