Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon, 0.5 cups of brown sugar, and chopped nuts if using. This will be your streusel topping.

Step 7

Spread half of the cake batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle half of the streusel topping over the batter.

Step 8

Spread the remaining batter over the streusel layer, then sprinkle the remaining streusel on top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the coffee cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.

Step 11

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with your favorite coffee or tea!
