Equipment

  • Mixer
  • Mixing bowls
  • 10-inch square baking pan

Ingredients

Streusel Topping:

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter diced

Cake:

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup cookie butter

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 10-inch square baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • For the streusel, in a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon and salt. Add the butter and rub with your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  • For the cake, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs and beat well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Dollop with the cookie butter on top and then use a knife or skewer to swirl into the batter. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the top.
  • Bake until golden brown and a toothpick, inserted in the middle, comes out clean, for 50 to 55 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes in the pan on a wire rack. Light the cake from the pan using the parchment paper and then slice into 9 or 12 squares. Serve and enjoy!
