Ingredients

Cake

  • 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream

Crumb

  • 1 1/2 cups pecans, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3 Tbsp salted butter, melted
  • 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray an 8x8 inch baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and creamy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully combined. Mix in the vanilla and sour cream.
  • Slowly mix in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the crumb ingredients until the pecans are fully coated.
  • Spread half of the cake batter in the prepared pan. Spread half of the crumb mixture, then top with remaining half of the cake batter and crumb mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into slices.
