  • 3
    Beat the 3/4 cup of butter/margarine and 1 1/4 cups of sugar with electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy (mixture should be noticeably lighter in color).
  • 4
    Add the eggs, one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next; beat in the vanilla.
  • 5
    Pour in flour mixture alternately with the sour cream mixing until just incorporated (batter will be thick); pour into prepared pan.
  • 6
    For the topping:
  • 7
    Mix 1/4 cup of butter/margarine, 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl until it resembles coarse crumbs; sprinkle over cake batter.

    Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • 9
    Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on wire rack.
