Ingredients

For the cake,

  • 1 ½ sticks (12 Tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature

  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar

  • 3 eggs, large

  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 ¼ cups sour cream

  • 2 ½ cups all purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ cup Cinnamon Pecans

For the streusel,

  • ¼ cup light brown sugar, packed

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 3 tablespoons butter, cold, cut into pieces

  • 1 cup Cinnamon Pecans

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉. Grease and flour a 9 x 13 pan, set aside.

  • With a hand mixer (or stand mixer) cream the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 4-5 minutes.

  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time.

  • Add the vanilla and sour cream. Mix until thoroughly combined.

  • In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  • Add the flour mixture to the batter, mixing on low. Mix until just combined and stir with a spatula to make sure the batter is completely mixed.

  • Stir in Cinnamon Pecans. Set aside.

  • For the streusel, combine the brown sugar, flour, salt, and butter in a medium bowl. Once combined, stir in the Cinnamon Pecans.

  • Pour half of the batter into the previously prepared pan. Spread half of the streusel on the batter and pour the remaining batter in the pan. Top with remaining streusel.

  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before serving.

  • Enjoy!
