  • 1/2 cup + 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cup whole milk

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the melted butter and granulated sugar. Add in the milk, vanilla, eggs and sour cream. Mix until well combined. Add in the flour, baking powder and salt and mix just until combined.
  • In a small separate bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together.
  • Spread half othe cake batter into the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on top and spread it slightly to ensure even coverage. Pour the rest of the cake batter on top and spread it as needed. Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until done.
