Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.75 cups of granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter (0.25 cups), milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
To make the crumb topping, mix together the 1.25 cups of all-purpose flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar (0.25 cups), and ground cinnamon in a bowl.
Pour the 0.75 cups of melted butter into the dry crumb mixture. Use a fork or your fingers to mix until large crumbs form.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Optionally, dust the top of the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.
Slice and enjoy your crumb coffee cake with a cup of coffee or tea!
