Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

In a small bowl, prepare the streusel topping by mixing the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped nuts (if using).

Step 6

Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Sprinkle half of the streusel topping mixture over the batter.

Step 8

Add the remaining batter on top and gently spread it out to create an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining streusel over the top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely or serve it warm. Enjoy with coffee or tea!
