Oven - Preheat your oven to 350°F / 177°C/ Gas Mark 4. To avoid sticking, thoroughly grease and flour an 8 x 8-inch square cake pan .
Swirl - Mix the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Set aside.
¼ cup Soft butter, ¼ cup Brown sugar, 1 tbsp Ground cinnamon
Dry ingredients - Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices in another bowl. Set aside.
1¼ cups All-purpose flour, ¾ teaspoons Baking powder, ¾ teaspoons Baking soda, ¼ teaspoon Salt, ½ tsp Nutmeg, ½ teaspoon Cloves, ½ teaspoon Ground ginger
Wet ingredients - In a large bowl, beat the butter, oil, white, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
¼ cup Unsalted butter, ½ cup Vegetable oil, ½ cup White sugar, ¼ cup Brown sugar, 2 large Eggs, 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Combine - Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three parts, alternating with the sour cream, starting and ending with the dry ingredients.
⅔ cups Sour cream
Assemble - Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Spread the cinnamon swirl mixture evenly over the batter. Use a spatula to create swirls in the mixture through the batter, creating a marbled effect.
Bake - Transfer to the oven and bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
Cool - Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve - Once the cake is cool, transfer it to a serving plate. You can serve it as is or dust it with powdered sugar for a nice presentation.
