Ingredients

Scale

Cake Batter

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Crumb Topping

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan, ensuring it’s ready for your delicious creation.
  2. Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, until well combined. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
  5. Make the Crumb Topping: In another bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, melted butter, and cinnamon if using. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Assemble and Bake: Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake batter, covering it completely.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the crumb topping is lightly golden brown.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake tender.
  • If you like a stronger cinnamon flavor, you can increase the cinnamon in the crumb topping.
  • The cake is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • You can substitute the milk with any plant-based milk to make it dairy-free.
  • Make sure to grease and flour the pan well to prevent sticking.
