Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp ground cardamom
  • 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.75 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar for crumble topping
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour for crumble topping
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon for crumble topping
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter softened, for crumble topping

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cardamom, cinnamon, and salt. In another bowl, beat butter and granulated sugar until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in sour cream and vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  • Spread half of the batter into the prepared 9-inch cake pan. Sprinkle half of the crumble topping over the batter. Add the remaining batter and smooth the top. Sprinkle with the remaining crumble topping.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Customizations: Add chopped nuts or raisins to the batter for extra texture.
  • Serving Suggestion: Pair with freshly brewed coffee or tea for the perfect indulgence.
