Melt the butter in a medium bowl. Mix in brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and crushed pistachios with a fork until small clumps form.

Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.

Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes, using either a hand mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment.

Beat in eggs and vanilla for 1 minute until well combined.
07 -
Gently fold in half the flour mixture, then mix in the coffee milk and sour cream, followed by remaining flour mixture.

Pour half the batter into the pan, top with 1/3 of the streusel, add remaining batter and finish with remaining streusel. Bake 40-50 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
