Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup oil

3/4 cups white sugar

1/2 cup sour cream (room temperature)

1 cup unsweetened applesauce (room temperature)

2 eggs (room temperature)

1 tbsp vanilla

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 tbsp cornstarch

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup dark brown sugar (for filling)

1/2 tsp cinnamon (for filling)

1/4 cup white sugar (for streusel)

1/4 cup brown sugar (for streusel)

1/2 tsp cinnamon (for streusel)

3/4 cups all-purpose flour (for streusel) + 1-2 tbsp on the side

6 tbsp butter, melted and cooled completely (for streusel)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C and line and grease a 9×9 inch square pan.
  2. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside (this is your filling!).
  3. In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter for the streusel. Mix with a fork until combined. Add 1-2 tbsp extra flour if needed, then crumble with your hands. Refrigerate.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together oil and white sugar. Add eggs, applesauce, sour cream, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  7. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar filling and about 4-5 tbsp of the streusel.
  8. Add the remaining batter and top with the rest of the streusel.
  9. Bake for 35-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out dry. Let cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure your wet ingredients are at room temperature for best results!
  • Use unsweetened applesauce – it makes all the difference.
  • If the streusel seems too wet, add a little more flour.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
