For the Crumb Topping:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter melted
For the Cake Batter:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Make the Crumb Topping
In a large bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon and salt. Pour in melted butter. Mix with a fork until large crumbs form. Do not overmix. You want thick, chunky crumbs. Set aside.
Mix Dry Ingredients for Cake
In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Whisk gently to mix everything evenly. This helps the cake rise properly and keeps the texture light and soft.
Add Sour Cream and Dry Ingredients
- Use cold butter for bigger crumb chunks.
- Add chopped walnuts to the crumb topping for crunch.
- Sprinkle powdered sugar on top before serving.
- Add a thin layer of cinnamon sugar in the middle.
- Replace sour cream with plain Greek yogurt if needed.
