Ingredients

• 200 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 120 ml Whole milk
• 100 grams Light brown sugar
• 100 grams All-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
• 75 grams Unsalted butter (melted, for crumb topping)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch (23cm) square or round baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined—do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.

Step 7

In another bowl, prepare the crumb topping by combining the light brown sugar, all-purpose flour, melted butter, and ground cinnamon. Use a fork to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake batter.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve the Butter Crumb Cake on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
