Ingredients for Cake:

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • Line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper and grease with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, add the dry topping ingredients and stir to combine.
  • Add the cubed softened butter to the dry ingredients and use a large fork, a pastry blender or just clean hands to mix the butter into the flour creating coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, prepare the cake by adding the butter and sugar. Cream for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing in between.
  • Add the sour cream and vanilla and mix well. At this point the batter will be very runny and curdled looking. This is normal.
  • Add the baking soda and salt, then combine.
  • Add the flour ½ cup at a time, until everything is just combined and there are no more flour streaks. The batter will be very thick.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared baking dish and use a spoon or spatula to spread it evenly.
  • Add the crumb topping evenly over the cake.
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick entered into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool, then dust with powdered sugar and serve!

Notes

Store crumb cake, covered, on the counter for up to 3 days.
