Equipment

  • 8x8 inch baking pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Pastry Blender

Ingredients
  

Cake

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 Tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Topping

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup pecans finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Make topping: Combine flour, brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Add butter and cut in with forks or a pastry blender until there are no large pieces. Stir in nuts.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add egg and mix. Add sour cream, milk, and vanilla then mix.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Add dry ingredients to wet mixture then mix just until combined.
  • Spoon half of the batter into your prepared pan and smooth into an even bottom layer. Sprinkle half of the topping mixture over the top.
  • Spoon remaining batter on top then smooth into an even layer. Sprinkle remaining topping mixture over the top.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, or with few crumbs. Check the mixture about half way through baking --you may want to put a piece of tinfoil over the top to keep the top from browning too much.
  • Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
