Prep Time20 minutes
Cook Time30 minutes

Ingredients

Da Streusel

  • 108 grams brown sugar (½ cup packed)
  • 3 grams cinnamon (1 teaspoons)
  • 2 grams salt (¼ teaspoon)
  • 42 grams butter, melted (3 tablespoons)

Da Cake

  • 150 grams all-purpose flour (1¼ cups)
  • 4 grams baking powder (1 teaspoon)
  • 2 grams salt (¼ teaspoon)
  • 2 grams baking soda (¼ teaspoon)
  • 113 grams butter, room temperature (½ cup)
  • 149 grams granulated sugar (¾ cup)
  • 2 eggs
  • 7 grams vanilla extract (½ tablespoon)
  • 115 grams sour cream (½ cup)

Icing

  • 57 grams confectioner's sugar (½ cup)
  • 39 grams maple syrup (2 tablespoons)
  • 28 grams milk or half-and-half (2 tablespoons)

Instructions

The Prep

  • Heat oven to 350℉ / 175℃
  • Grease 3 small loaf pans or one 9"x5" pan. Flour if you'd like.

Da Streusel

  • Mix the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and butter with a dough knife or a fork until mixed. Butter chunks should be pea- or bb-sized. Set aside.

The Batter

  • In a small bowl mix together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
  • In a stand mixer (or just a bowl that you're gonna use with a hand mixer), add the butter and sugar. Cream until fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time. Add the vanilla and the sour cream. Mix until combined.
  • With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture a large spoonful at a time until incorporated.

Assembly

  • Add a layer of the batter to the bottom of the pans. You want to use like 1/6th of it. Or half if you're doing just one loaf pan.
  • Add a hefty amount of the streusel.
  • Add the rest of the batter to the top and spread evenly.
  • Sprinkle generously with the streusel.

Baking

  • Bake for ~30 minutes for small loaves or ~50 minutes for one large loaf.
  • Remove and cool before running a knife around the edge to release from pans.

Icing

  • Once cakes are cooled completely, mix the icing ingredients together to form a drizzleable consistency. Add a little more milk to thin -- literally a drop at a time -- or sugar to thicken. Drizzle on and let set before serving.
  • Call your cardiologist.

Notes

  • Some people add nuts -- chopped pecans or walnuts -- to the topping/vein, and while I like pecans and walnuts, I like them not in my food.  Use maybe 1/2 cup of either if you want to ruin this cake.
