Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 1 cups Buttermilk
• 1 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan and set it aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small pieces and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then whisk in the vanilla extract and buttermilk.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the butter-flour mixture, and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should remain slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the batter to create a sugary finish.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the kuchen from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature with coffee or tea for best results. Enjoy!
