Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour (streusel topping)
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, cubed and cold (streusel topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it into an even layer.
To make the streusel topping, combine the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, cut in the cold cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the batter in the pan.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy!
