Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.75 cup light brown sugar, packed (for streusel)
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for streusel)
• 1 cup chopped pecans (for streusel)
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted (for streusel)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Step 5

On low speed, alternately add the flour mixture in three parts and the sour cream and milk in two parts, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, prepare the streusel topping by mixing the brown sugar, cinnamon, chopped pecans, and flour. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 7

Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle half of the streusel mixture over the batter.

Step 8

Pour the remaining cake batter over the streusel layer and spread it gently to cover. Top with the remaining streusel mixture.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
