1 cup light brown sugar, packed

2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Cake Batter:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)

Instructions

In a bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Add melted butter and stir until crumbly. Set aside.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
Alternate adding dry ingredients and sour cream to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
Spread half the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with half the streusel. Add remaining batter and top with remaining streusel.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
