Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
In a small bowl, prepare the streusel topping by mixing the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped nuts (if using).
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle half of the streusel topping mixture over the batter.
Add the remaining batter on top and gently spread it out to create an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining streusel over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely or serve it warm. Enjoy with coffee or tea!
