Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 1 large egg
• 0.75 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 2 teaspoons of baking powder.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in 0.5 cups of cold, cubed unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 0.75 cups of whole milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Step 5

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing for a tender cake.

Step 6

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

In another bowl, combine 1 cup of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and 1.75 cups of all-purpose flour for the crumb topping.

Step 8

Pour 0.75 cups of melted butter into the crumb mixture and stir with a fork until large crumbs form.

Step 9

Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the batter, making sure to cover the entire surface generously.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

If desired, sift 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar over the top for a finishing touch before serving.
