Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar (optional, 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 large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Pour in the melted butter and mix with a fork until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Set aside 1 cup of this crumb mixture for the topping.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add this wet mixture to the large bowl containing the crumb mixture, and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be thick.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan using a spatula.
In a medium bowl, combine the reserved crumb mixture with the brown sugar. Use your fingertips to mix until the topping resembles wet sand. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the batter in the pan.
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 completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, dust lightly with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness, if desired.
Slice into squares or rectangles and serve. Enjoy your Dutch Crumb Cake with a cup of coffee or tea!
