Author's Notes

Makes about 16 slices.

Make Ahead & Freezing Instructions: Cake tastes best on day 1 or day 2. The cake may be made 1 day in advance. Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days. Cake can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or for several hours at room temperature.
Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray or line with parchment and set aside.
step 2
To prepare the streusel topping, mix together the All-Purpose Flour (1/4 cup), Granulated Sugar (1/4 cup), and Ground Cinnamon (1/2 Tbsp) in a medium bowl. Stir in the Butter (2 Tbsp) and use your hands to really mix it up good. Set aside.
step 3
For the cake, whisk together the All-Purpose Flour (1 cup), Baking Soda (1/2 tsp), Baking Powder (1/2 tsp), and Salt (1/2 tsp) in a medium mixing bowl and set aside.
step 4
Add the Butter (1/4 cup) and Granulated Sugar (1/2 cup) to a separate mixing bowl and use an electric mixer on medium speed to combine ingredients for 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape sides as needed.
step 5
Add the Egg (1), Sour Cream (1/2 cup), and Vanilla Extract (1 tsp). Mix for 1 minute until combined and smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
step 6
Turn the mixer to low speed and gradually add the flour mixture. Mix until just combined and smooth, again, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
step 7
Transfer the batter into prepared baking pan. Spread it out with a spatula. It will seem very thin, but don't worry, it will bake up nice and fluffy. Sprinkle streusel topping over the cake and gently press down with your fingers. It might seem like too much streusel, but we really enjoyed the amount.

Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. My cake was done in 30 minutes.
