Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cups buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.5 cups brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

Add the melted butter, egg, and buttermilk to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined to form a thick batter.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, prepare the cheese filling by beating the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Spoon half of the cake batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.

Step 6

Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cake batter layer.

Step 7

Top with the remaining cake batter by dolloping it over the filling and gently spreading it out with a spatula.

Step 8

In a small bowl, make the crumb topping by mixing the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon together. Pour in the melted butter and mix until crumbs form.

Step 9

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cake is set and the crumb topping is golden brown.

Step 11

Let the cake cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea!
