- 1/4 cup brown sugar

Cake Batter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour scooped and leveled
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 eggs room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup milk (I used skim, but you could go up in fat content)
To Make Streusel Topping
In a small bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients for the streusel.
1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Using a pastry cutter or a fork, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly. Set aside.
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
To Make the Filling
Whisk together the ingredients for the filling and set aside.
1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
To Make Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 to 6 minutes.
1/2 cup unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar
Add in the eggs, one at a time. Now beat in the vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides and beat in the sour cream until the mixture is smooth and combined. Scrape down the sides again. Finally, beat in the milk.
3 eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 3/4 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup milk
Add in the flour mixture, and beat on low for a few moments until you can beat on high until the mixture is just combined.
Putting Muffins Together
Add about a tablespoon of the batter to the bottoms of the prepared muffin tins. Add 1 teaspoon of filling to the muffins. Then, top with the remaining batter. Finally, top with the streusel topping.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in a muffin in the middle of the pan comes out with just a few crumbs.
