Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
- Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together for the swirl in a small bowl.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon mixture over it before adding the remaining batter. Finally, top it off with the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool before serving and savoring each beautiful slice.
Notes
You can prepare the batter a day in advance. This cake freezes wonderfully! Just slice and wrap pieces in plastic wrap.
