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!
