Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 g) sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract (optional)
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (65 g) all-purpose flour (for streusel)
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt (for streusel)
  • 6 tbsp (85 g) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes (for streusel)
  • 3/4 cup (75 g) sliced or slivered almonds, lightly toasted
  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1–2 tbsp milk (for glaze)
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan or a 9×13-inch pan.
  2. Make the streusel: Combine brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in toasted almonds and chill.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla and almond extract.
  5. Alternately add flour mixture and sour cream to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Mix until just combined. Stir in milk if needed.
  6. Spread half the batter in the prepared pan, sprinkle half the streusel over it, dollop and spread the remaining batter, and top with remaining streusel.
  7. Bake for 35–45 minutes (for a 9-inch) or 25–30 minutes (for a 9×13) until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool on a wire rack for 15–20 minutes before removing from the pan. Drizzle with glaze if using.

Notes

For a nut-free version, omit almonds and add oats or extra streusel. Cake can be made ahead and stored or frozen for later.
