Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cups milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour (streusel topping)
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, cubed and cold (streusel topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 4

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it into an even layer.

Step 5

To make the streusel topping, combine the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, cut in the cold cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the batter in the pan.

Step 7

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy!
