- 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
- ⅛ tsp Salt
Vanilla Glaze:
- 1 Cup Confectioners' sugar
- 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 Tbsps Heavy Cream/half and half/milk
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.

Additional Tips:
- 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.
- Sour Cream: Sour cream can be replaced with full fat Greek yogurt. I don't suggest subbing it with low fat yogurt.
