Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients alternately with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
In another small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon together to create the crumble topping.
Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
Add the remaining batter to the dish and gently spread it, then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
For an optional finishing touch, dust the top with powdered sugar just before serving.
