Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 1/2 cup (120g) sour cream, room temperature
  • 2 large (100g) eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (65g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tbsp (16g) ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp (28g) cold unsalted butter, cubed

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan, lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the 250g flour, 150g granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and pale.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until no streaks of flour remain, taking care not to over-mix.
  5. In a small ramekin, combine 65g brown sugar and 16g ground cinnamon for the swirl.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
  7. Pour the remaining batter on top, then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon sugar.
  8. Use a butter knife to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter in a figure-eight motion.
  9. Pinch the streusel topping ingredients (30g flour, 50g brown sugar, 28g cold butter) together and scatter them over the top.
  10. Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
