Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch metal baking pan.
- Combine granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt for the cinnamon ripple in a small bowl.
- Cream together the unsalted butter and both granulated and light brown sugars until light and fluffy.
- Add the large eggs one at a time, beat well after each addition, then mix in sour cream and vanilla extract.
- Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl, then fold into the wet mixture.
- Spread half of the batter in the prepared pan and sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
- Dollop remaining batter on top and spread gently; it doesn't need to be perfectly smooth.
- Combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon for the streusel topping; mix in melted butter until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the streusel mixture over the batter and bake for about 50 minutes until golden brown.
- Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
