Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Add the sour cream to the wet ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped nuts (if using) for the streusel topping.
To make the streusel, use a fork or your fingers to combine the brown sugar mixture with 2 tablespoons of butter and 1/4 cup of flour until crumbly. Set aside.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the streusel filling evenly over the batter.
Add the remaining batter on top and smooth it out with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining streusel topping evenly over the surface.
Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
