Ingredients
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups granulated sugar, divided
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup sour cream or milk, room temperature
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square pan
In a bowl, mix 2 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, ½ cup softened butter, 2 eggs, 1 cup sour cream/milk, baking powder, and salt until just combined
In another small bowl, combine remaining ½ cup flour, remaining ½ cup sugar, and 2 teaspoons cinnamon to form crumb topping
Pour batter into prepared pan, sprinkle crumb mixture unevenly on top, then swirl with a knife blade
Bake 35–45 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserts clean from center
Notes
Room temperature eggs and dairy ensure even mixing
Use sour cream for extra moisture or milk for lighter texture
Let cool 10–15 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts
