Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup brown sugar
• 2.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon of baking soda, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, combine 0.5 cup of melted unsalted butter, 1 cup of buttermilk, 2 large eggs, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined and no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix.

Step 5

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

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix 0.75 cup of brown sugar and 2.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Sprinkle half of this cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.

Step 7

Spread the remaining batter over the cinnamon layer, smoothing the top with a spatula. Then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top.

Step 8

To prepare the crumb topping, use a fork or your fingers to combine 0.5 cup of all-purpose flour, 0.5 cup of chilled unsalted butter cubes, and 0.25 cup of brown sugar in a bowl until it forms coarse crumbs. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the cake.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
