Equipment

  • Hand/stand Mixer

Ingredients

  • ½ Cup Butter (unsalted, at room temperature)
  • ¾ Cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 large Eggs (at room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ½ Cup Sour Cream (full fat, at room temperature)
  • 1 ⅓ (166 gms) Cups All purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt

Streusel Topping:

  • ½ cup Brown sugar
  • ¼ Cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 8 (1 stick) Tbsps Unsalted Butter (room temperature)
  • 1 ¼ Cup All purpose flour
  • tsp Salt

Vanilla Glaze:

  • 1 Cup Confectioners' sugar
  • 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Tbsps Heavy Cream/half and half/milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour a round or square 9 inch pan. Or alternatively line it with parchment paper and set it aside.

For Streusel Topping:

  • Mix butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon together working butter in the mixture till it resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.

To make Vanilla Cake:

  • Sift and mix all dry ingredients, flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a mixing bowl.
  • Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat butter on high speed until creamy, for about a minute. Next add sugar and beat on high speed (for about 2 minutes) until it looks light and creamy. Now add 1 egg at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract next. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
  • Add sour cream and flour mix alternating them, in 2-3 additions till all flour and sour cream is used up. Beat well after each addition till flour and cream disappears into the batter.
  • Pour batter in the prepared baking pan, top with streusel topping and bake for 25-30 minutes. Check with a toothpick to test for doneness. Allow to cool down completely, before glazing.

Vanilla Glaze:

  • Mix confectioners' sugar, heavy cream and vanilla together in a small bowl till well combined and drizzle over the cooled cake.

Notes

Storage Information:
  • You can store this cake at room temp. for up to 3 days.
  • Any leftovers can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator or on counter top before enjoying.
Additional Tips:
  1. Different Cake Pans: You can easily double this recipe to bake in a 9x13 inch pan. Or this can also be baked as a loaf cake in 9 x 5 inch loaf tin. Baking time will be around 40-45 minutes.
  2. Sour Cream: Sour cream can be replaced with full fat Greek yogurt. I don't suggest subbing it with low fat yogurt.
