Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Mix well.
Cut the unsalted butter into small chunks and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve 1 cup of this mixture for the crumb topping and set aside.
To the remaining crumb mixture, add the baking powder, salt, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract for the filling until smooth and creamy.
Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the batter in dollops, then gently spread it out evenly across the surface in a thin layer.
Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the top of the filling.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crumbs are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean (avoid the cream cheese when testing).
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
