Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour an 8” x 12” cast iron casserole dish (or similar).

In a mixing bowl, combine the crumb ingredients: white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, chopped pecans, melted butter, and salt.

In another bowl, cream together room temperature butter and white sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and fine salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Pour half of the batter into the prepared dish and sprinkle with half of the crumb mixture.

Spread the remaining batter over the crumb layer and top with the rest of the crumb mixture.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
