Ingredients
  

Cake

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cardamom
  • 3/4 cup 1 1/2 sticks butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbls poppy seeds

Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick butter
  • 1 tsp cardamom
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions
 

For the batter

  • With a mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time on low speed, waiting until fully incorporated before adding the next.
  • Add the yogurt and vanilla, mixing on low speed.
  • Add all the dry ingredients. Mix until incorporated and batter is smooth.

For the topping

  • Mix all topping ingredients with a fork or berry masher until crumbly

Assemble

  • Spread the batter in a well-greased 9x13 cake pan.
  • Sprinkle the topping over the batter.
  • Bake at 350 degrees fro 35-45 minutes. A metal pan will cook faster - I use a glass pan and bake for 45 minutes.
