- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.25 tsp baking soda
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.5 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

## Instructions

1. Combine brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, melted butter, and a pinch of kosher salt in a large bowl and mix until saturated and resembling a thick, gooey mixture.
2. Add all-purpose flour to the butter mixture and mix by hand until all flour is incorporated and a crumbly topping is formed.
3. Cream together softened butter and sugar in a mixer until fluffy.
4. Whisk eggs and vanilla extract together in a separate container.
5. Add the egg and vanilla mixture to the creamed butter and sugar, mixing until just incorporated.
6. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
7. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, ensuring not to overwork the batter.
8. Mix in sour cream and milk until the batter is smooth but still thick.
9. Butter and line baking pans with crumpled parchment paper.
10. Spread about half of the cake batter evenly into the prepared pans.
11. Layer a good amount of the crumb topping over the batter and gently press it into the batter.
12. Add the remaining cake batter over the crumb layer, spreading it out evenly.
13. Top with more crumb topping, pressing it gently into the batter to ensure it sticks during baking.
14. Bake in a 350-degree Fahrenheit oven for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
15. Let the coffee cake cool to room temperature before serving.
