Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters milk
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 50 grams all-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 40 grams unsalted butter (for crumb topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the 200g of unsalted butter and 200g of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the 250g of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 120ml of milk. Start and finish with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
To make the crumb topping, combine 50g of light brown sugar, 50g of all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the 40g of unsalted butter with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the Butter Crumshus Cake as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
