Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground nutmeg
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
3 tbsp cold butter, cubed

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Add softened butter and mix until crumbly.
In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, sour cream, and vanilla. Add to dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
In a small bowl, combine all crumb topping ingredients. Use your fingers or a fork to mix until crumbly.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the cake batter.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

You can double the topping for extra crunch and flavor.
Add chopped nuts or a drizzle of glaze for variation.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
