Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • For crumb topping: 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup butter (softened), pinch of salt
  • (Optional icing): 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1–2 tbsp milk or cream, 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round or square cake pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
  4. Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk to the wet mixture, beginning and ending with the dry. Mix just until combined.
  5. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon to create the swirl mixture.
  6. Pour half the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over it, then carefully spread the remaining batter on top.
  7. Prepare the crumb topping: mix flour, brown sugar, softened butter, and a pinch of salt until coarse crumbs form. Sprinkle evenly over the cake.
  8. Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes on a wire rack. Drizzle with icing or glaze if desired.
  10. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use room-temperature ingredients for a smooth batter.For a nutty flavor, add chopped pecans or walnuts to the crumb topping.Brown butter can be used instead of regular butter for a deeper flavor.Store covered at room temperature up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.Reheat individual slices briefly in the microwave before serving for a warm, fresh taste.
