Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Beat together ½ cup of softened butter, ¾ cup of brown sugar, and ½ cup of granulated sugar until creamy and smooth.
  3. Mix in 2 eggs, 1 cup of sour cream, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until evenly blended.
  4. Whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon of salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
