Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup granulated sugar adjust for sweetness if desired
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream adds moisture
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon for the swirl

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9x13 inch baking dish. This will ensure your cake comes out perfectly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and baking soda, giving it a good whisk to mix everything well.
  • In another bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the sugar and melted butter. Add the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined — be careful not to overmix!
  • In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar with the cinnamon to create a delightful topping.
  • Pour half of the batter into your prepared dish, then sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top. Repeat with the remaining batter and topping.
  • Using a knife, gently swirl the batter to create a marbled effect.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Then allow it to cool briefly before serving.

Notes

This cake is best enjoyed warm. For a delicious twist, serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
