2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup caster sugar
3 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla paste

5 tbsp cold butter

FOR THE ICING

INSTRUCTIONS


STEP 1
Preheat the oven to 175ºC | 350 °F.

STEP 2
In a Fattoria batter bowl, cream together the softened butter and caster sugar, scraping down the sides as needed.

STEP 3
Add the vanilla paste and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the sour cream, then add the flour and baking powder, until fully incorporated.

STEP 4
To make the streusel, place the cold butter, all-purpose flour, brown
sugar and cinnamon in a food processor. Pulse until coarse crumbs
form.

STEP 5
Grease a 27cm | 11” Fattoria square baker. Pour in the cake batter
and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the cake
batter and gently press it down to make it adhere.

STEP 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.


STEP 7
While the cake is cooling, prepare the icing. In a Fattoria mixing
bowl, combine all icing ingredients and mix until smooth. Spread the
icing evenly over the top of the cake.
