Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cups buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Add the melted butter, egg, and buttermilk to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined to form a thick batter.
In a separate bowl, prepare the cheese filling by beating the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Spoon half of the cake batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cake batter layer.
Top with the remaining cake batter by dolloping it over the filling and gently spreading it out with a spatula.
In a small bowl, make the crumb topping by mixing the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon together. Pour in the melted butter and mix until crumbs form.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cake is set and the crumb topping is golden brown.
Let the cake cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea!
