Ingredients
Grab these ingredients and let’s get to baking:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Now that you’ve gathered all the goodies, let’s get down to the fun part—making this cake!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch pan to make sure that cake doesn’t stick.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until it’s fluffy and light.
- Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the sour cream. Mix until just combined.
- In another small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped nuts. Set aside.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, then sprinkle half of the brown sugar mixture on top. Spread the remaining batter over this layer and top with the rest of the brown sugar mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let it cool for a bit before serving. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature with a cup of coffee!
