Baking Instructions

  2. Cream together ½ cup softened butter, ¾ cup brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Add 2 large eggs, ½ cup sour cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  4. Sift together 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined without overmixing.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  7. Combine 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and sprinkle over the batter.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Allow cooling for 10-15 minutes, then prepare the frosting with 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract.
