Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° and line a 9"-x-13" pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl using a hand mixer, cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, then beat in sour cream and vanilla until just combined.
• In another large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add dry ingredients into wet ingredients and beat until just incorporated. 
• Make streusel: In a medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg if using, and salt. Stir in butter and pecans if using. 
• Add half the batter into prepared baking pan and spread in an even layer. Top with half the streusel, then add remaining batter and spread to edges of pan. Top with remaining streusel and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes.
