Instructions: 

  • Here we go! In a bowl add all the dry ingredients for the cake: flour, sugar, salt, baking powder. Whisk together and set aside.
  • Next, wet ingredients. In a bowl mix together milk, sour cream, egg, vanilla.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the wet and mix. Careful not to overmix. Once combined, pour in the 1/4 cup melted butter. Mix until combined.
  • Pour batter into a 8X8 inch greased baking pan.
  • Now the brown sugar crumb. In a bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, 1 tbsp melted butter, and salt.
  • Pour the brown sugar crumb over the top of the cake batter. Using a butter knife, swirl the brown sugar mixture through the batter of the cake. Press the sugar down into the batter gently with a spatula.
  • Bake at 350 for 20-24 mins. You will know the cake is done when you can poke with a wooden skewer or toothpick and it comes out clean.
  • While the cake is baking, let's whip up the icing. In a bowl mix together icing sugar, vanilla, milk. Whisk.
  • Let the cake cool, pour icing over top, cut and eat. Enjoy this one. One of those things you probably shouldn't eat that often so really enjoy it!!! A nice coffee, some Neil Young. Now that, my friends, is self-care.
