Cake
- 2 ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch salt
- 4 tbs unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbs vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup milk
Cinnamon Swirl
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 tbs cinnamon
Streusel Topping
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar packed
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch salt
- ½ cup + 2 tbs unsalted butter melted
Vanilla Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3-5 tbs milk
For the cake
In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together very well.
In a separate bowl, beat, butter, vegetable oil, and both sugars until smooth. Add sour cream, eggs and vanilla and mix until combined. Add flour gradually and mix until smooth. Pour in milk and beat again until just incorporated as you do not want to over-mix the batter.
For the topping
Toss both sugars, flour, cinnamon and salt together in a large bowl. Stir in melted butter until crumbly. It will still be wet but you will be able to break it up into smaller pieces. If for some reason it won't crumble, add another tablespoon of flour to the mixture. Crumble the topping over the batter in the pan into an even layer.
Bake for 35-40 minutes OR until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
For the glaze
In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, vanilla and milk until smooth. Add more or less milk for your desired thickness - I like mine on the thicker side so it doesn't melt into the cake. Drizzle onto cooled cake.
