Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup raisins
- 0.75 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups of the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
Toss the raisins with the remaining 1/4 cup of flour to coat them. Fold the floured raisins into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, remaining 1/4 cup of flour, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Cut in 1/4 cup of cold butter using a fork or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumb 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 comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving. Slice and enjoy!
