This recipe started life as a KAF recipe and in April 2019 I adjusted it slightly and fell in love with this cake and then seemingly lost the recipe... Nevermore! Here it is for our use going forward.
1CSour Cream or Plain Greek Yogurt- I use LF Sour Cream b/c that's what I always have

Instructions
Get out and organize all of your ingredients.
Grease 9X13 pan and set aside.
Preheat your oven to 350℉.
Make the Streusel
Stir together the dry ingredients (Flour / Sugar / Cinnamon / Salt)
Using a pastry cutter - cut in the cold butter.
Stir in the Oats and the Lemon Zest.
Set Streusel aside.
Prepare the Cake
Mix the Dry ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.
In your mixer - blend the oil and the room temp butter till well combined.
Add in the sugar and whip for a while - trying to get a whippy texture. This mixture will not be so light and creamy as it is part oil - and not the typical cake butter / sugar creaming... Try to get air into the mixture, though.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing between each - scraping the bowl down as needed.
Add the sour cream - scraping the bowl down as needed.
Add the dry ingredients, stirring just until incorporated. (Don't over mix - you don't want the flour to develop gluten.)
Layer the cake - first layer 1/2 of the batter. Dollop the cake batter into the pan and then carefully spread as evenly as you can.
Second layer - is a bit less than 1/2 of the streusel. (Putting more streusel makes it hard to cover with the remaining batter.)
Third layer - is the last of the cake batter - again dollop the cake batter around and then carefully spread. It will be a bit tricky since the streusel is going to stick and make it harder to cover readily.
Fourth / top layer - is the remaining streusel.
Bake at 350℉ for 29 or 30 minutes in your 9X13.
Make the Glaze
Mix up lemon juice and powdered sugar. After you get the consistency you want - put the glaze into a zip lock bag and set aside.
After the cake has totally cooled, cut a corner off your zip lock bag of glaze and drizzle the glaze on the cake.
Serve the cake to friends and family !
Notes
Hubster says, this is definitely good. If someone brought this to our house for dessert, I might ask for seconds. :) You can have it for dessert, or with your coffee...in the AM.
