Scale
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups light brown sugar (packed)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder

- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup full-fat sour cream
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, mix together 2½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1½ cups of light brown sugar, ½ cup of granulated sugar, 2½ teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Drizzle in 1 cup of melted unsalted butter and stir until combined. Set aside for crumb topping.
- In another medium bowl, whisk together 2¼ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Beat ½ cup of softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until creamy. Add 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing after each. Add 1 cup of full-fat sour cream and 1½ teaspoons of vanilla extract, mixing until incorporated. Gradually add the flour mixture in three intervals, mixing until just combined.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, spread evenly, and sprinkle the crumb topping over it. Press gently into the cake. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool for at least 45 minutes before slicing and dusting with powdered sugar.
