Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
For the Streusel Topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional, walnuts or pecans)
For the Glaze (optional):
- 2–3 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Make the cake batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and brewed coffee. Mix until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined.
- Prepare the streusel topping:
- In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Add cold cubed butter and mix until crumbly. Stir in chopped nuts if using.
- Assemble the cake:
- Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle half of the streusel topping over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top, then add the rest of the streusel topping.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the glaze (optional):
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust consistency with more milk if necessary.
- Serve: Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake if desired. Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
