Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Grease and lightly flour a round or square 8-inch pan. Or simply line with parchment paper.
-
Combine the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl. Cut in the chilled butter with a pastry blender or two forks (or even with your hands) until the mixture resembles pea-sized crumbs. Set aside.
-
Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
-
Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter at high speed until smooth and creamy for about 1 minute.
-
Add the sugar and beat on high speed for 2 minutes until creamed together fairly well. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
-
At medium-high speed, add 1 egg at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract and sour cream. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
-
With the mixer on low speed, beat in the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix this batter.
-
Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. The batter will be smooth and thick.
-
Carefully spread half of the batter into the pan. Sprinkle with half of the streusel. Carefully spread the remaining half of the batter on top, then the remaining streusel.
-
Bake for around 30 minutes or until the cake is baked through. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, it is done.
-
Allow cake to cool in the pan set on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
-
Whisk all of the glaze ingredients together in a medium bowl. Drizzle over cake. Slice and serve.
-
Cover leftovers tightly and store at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
