Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
3 large eggs (room temperature)
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup brown sugar (for streusel)
1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
Prepare the streusel by mixing flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until crumbly. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
In another bowl, beat melted butter and granulated sugar until blended (about 2–3 minutes).
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in sour cream and milk until smooth.
Gently fold in the dry ingredients until no dry streaks remain.
Pour half the batter into the prepared pan, sprinkle half the streusel on top, add the remaining batter, and finish with the rest of the streusel.
Bake for 30–35 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
