Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 units Eggs, large
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Pecans or walnuts, chopped (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix together 2 cups of the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter (reserve 2 tablespoons for later streusel use), and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and set aside.
In a separate bowl, prepare the streusel topping by combining the remaining 0.75 cup of flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and the reserved melted butter. Mix with a fork or your hands until crumbly. If using, stir in the chopped nuts.
Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the cake batter layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation.
