Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2.25 cups All-purpose flour (for topping)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt for the cake base.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine 4 tablespoons melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender cake.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

For the crumb topping, whisk together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and 2.25 cups of flour in a separate bowl.

Step 7

Drizzle in 8 tablespoons of melted butter, mixing with a fork until large crumbs form. Avoid overmixing to keep the crumbs lumpy.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the cake batter, covering the entire surface.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 11

Optional: Dust the top of the cake lightly with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
