In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar. I used a hand held mixer, but you can use a stand mixer or wooden spoon.
1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup butter
Add the eggs, and beat to combine.
2 eggs
Mix in the sour cream until well incorporated.
1 cup light sour cream
Add the vanilla.
2 teaspoons vanilla
Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, and combine well.
Scoop ½ of the batter into the baking dish, and spread to cover the dish.
Sprinkle ½ of the topping onto the cake batter in the dish.
Scoop the remaining batter on top, and using a knife spread it as evenly as possible.
Sprinkle with the remaining topping.
Bake for approximately 35 minutes. Use a cake tester to check doneness.
Remove from oven, allow to cool and serve.

Notes
I used light sour cream. You can use full fat or even Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla flavoured).Both light and dark brown sugar work for the topping.The size of the baking dish will determine how long the cake takes to bake.Pumpkin spice can be store bought, or your own homemade blend.
