1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream (or plain yogurt)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup powdered sugar
2–3 tablespoons milk or cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan or a 9-inch square baking pan.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Alternate Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Prepare Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Assemble the Cake: Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle evenly with half of the cinnamon swirl mixture. Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon swirl, then sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon swirl mixture.
Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Glaze (Optional): In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk (or cream), and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
Serve and Enjoy: Slice and serve. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea!
