Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted Make sure to let it cool slightly before mixing.
  • 1 tbsp baking powder This helps the cake rise beautifully.
  • 0.5 tsp salt Balances the sweetness.
  • 1 cup milk Use whole milk for best results.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Adds a lovely flavor.

Crumb Topping

  • 0.5 cup brown sugar For a deeper flavor.
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon Adds warmth to the topping.
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter, softened Mix well to create a crumbly texture.

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix! Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
  • In a separate bowl, prepare the crumb topping by mixing together brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Add the softened butter and mix until crumbly. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the batter in the pan.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

This cake pairs wonderfully with coffee or tea, making it a great snack or dessert at any time. Feel free to add nuts or fruit to the batter for extra flavor!
