Ingredients

• 200 grams unsalted butter
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 120 milliliters milk
• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 50 grams light brown sugar
• 50 grams all-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 40 grams unsalted butter (for crumb topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the 200g of unsalted butter and 200g of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the 250g of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 120ml of milk. Start and finish with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

To make the crumb topping, combine 50g of light brown sugar, 50g of all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the 40g of unsalted butter with a pastry cutter or fork 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 into the center of the cake 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 Crumshus Cake as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
