Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 1.5 teaspoons Cinnamon, ground
- 2 whole Eggs, large
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Set aside 1 cup of the crumb mixture to use later as the topping.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the cake dense.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the reserved 1 cup of crumb topping evenly over the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the crumb cake cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
Optional: Dust the top of the crumb cake with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
