Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sour cream
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
Mix the Cake Batter: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Prepare the Crumb Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and softened butter. Mix until crumbly.
Assemble the Cake: Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the batter.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
