Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour (for streusel topping)
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the milk until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
To prepare the streusel topping, mix the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and flour in a small bowl. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture is crumbly.
Sprinkle the streusel 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.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Slice and enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea!
