Ingredients

• Cinnamon Layer
• 0.75 Cups brown sugar
• 0.33 Cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 Teaspoons (tsp) ground cinnamon
• Streusel Topping
• 1 Cup brown sugar
• 1 Cup all-purpose flour
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) ground cinnamon
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
• 0.5 Cup unsalted butter, softened
• Cake
• 3.5 Cups all-purpose flour
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) baking powder
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
• 1.5 Cups white sugar
• 1 Cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3 Large eggs
• 0.75 Cup milk
• 8 Ounces (oz) sour cream
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) vanilla extract

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
2. Cinnamon Layer: In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.
3. Streusel Topping: In another small bowl, combine the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt. Add the softened butter and stir with a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly. Set aside.
4. Cake: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and kosher salt.
5. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the white sugar and softened butter on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape the sides of the bowl, then turn the mixer to low speed and beat in the large eggs until well blended. Gradually mix in the flour mixture and milk. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, and beat for 30 seconds.
6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the cinnamon layer over the batter, then pour the remaining batter on top. Spread the streusel topping evenly over the cake, pressing very lightly so it adheres to the batter.
7. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool completely before serving, about 30 minutes.
