Preparation

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the sour cream and vanilla; mix well. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Spread half into a greased 9-in. square baking pan.
Combine the topping ingredients; sprinkle half over the batter. Carefully spread the remaining batter on top; sprinkle with the remaining topping. Gently swirl topping through batter with a knife.
Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of cake comes out clean. Cool.
