Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour (for topping)
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter (1 cup), milk (1/2 cup), eggs (2), and vanilla extract (2 teaspoons). Mix until fully blended.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

In a small bowl, prepare the cinnamon-sugar layer by combining 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Set aside.

Step 6

Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter. Then pour the remaining batter on top and spread it evenly. Finish by sprinkling the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.

Step 7

To make the crumb topping, use a fork or your fingers to mix 1/2 cup of flour and 1/4 cup of cold, cubed butter in a small bowl until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake batter.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or tea!
