🧁 How to Make It

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8″ baking pan.

2. Mix cake ingredients: cream butter and sugar, then add eggs, sour cream, and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients.

3. Pour batter into pan.

4. In a bowl, combine all crumb topping ingredients. Mix until large crumbs form. Sprinkle evenly over batter.
