Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
In a separate bowl, combine 1/4 cup melted butter, 3/4 cup milk, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
In a small bowl, make the crumb topping by mixing 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Using a fork or your fingers, cut in 2 tablespoons of cold, diced butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the coffee cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Easy Coffee Cake 1965 with a hot cup of coffee or tea!
