Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour (for crumble topping)
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter (for crumble topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter and 1.5 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.

Step 5

Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

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

Step 7

To make the crumble topping, combine 0.75 cup of all-purpose flour, 0.5 cup of light brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon in a bowl.

Step 8

Cut 0.25 cup of unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 9

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the batter.

Step 10

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

Step 11

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

Step 12

Cut into squares and serve as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
