Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together 0.5 cup of unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes using an electric mixer.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
For the crumble topping, in a separate bowl, combine 0.5 cup of all-purpose flour, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Cut in 0.5 cup of unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cake batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
