– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the cinnamon swirl:
– 1/3 cup brown sugar
– 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon swirl mixture.
7. Spread half of the cake batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter.
8. Carefully spread the remaining batter over the cinnamon layer, then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon swirl mixture on top.
9. Using a butter knife, gently swirl the batter and cinnamon mixture together to create a marbled effect.
