Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Combine all-purpose flour and granulated sugar for the streusel topping. Cut cold unsalted butter into small cubes and mix until crumbly. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda. In another bowl, beat cold unsalted butter with one egg and egg yolk until fluffy. Gradually add sour cream, blending until smooth.
  3. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, folding gently until just combined.
  4. Blend cream cheese with sugar and egg whites until smooth and creamy.

  6. Bake for 45-60 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Allow to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes, then slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
