Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup butter, melted
• 3 eggs, room temperature
• 2 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups cake flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ⅔ cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, for topping

Instructions

1. Set your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish so it is ready when the batter is mixed. Then place the butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat and let it melt, watching as it foams and sizzles.
2. Keep cooking just until the milk solids at the bottom turn golden brown and the butter smells deeply nutty, like toasted hazelnuts. Pour it into a large mixing bowl right away so it does not keep cooking, then let it cool briefly for a few minutes before moving on.
