Equipment
- Measuring Spoons and Cups
- Oven
- Baking Pan
Ingredients
- 2 Cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tbps baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan, ensuring it's ready for your delicious creation.
- Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, until well combined. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Make the Crumb Topping: In another bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, melted butter, and cinnamon (if using). Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake batter, covering it completely.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the crumbs are lightly golden brown.
Notes
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure that ingredients like butter, eggs, and milk are at room temperature before mixing. This helps achieve a smooth and uniform batter.
- Mixing Technique: When mixing the batter, avoid over mixing. Mix until the ingredients are just combined to prevent the cake from becoming dense.
- Crumb Topping Consistency: The crumb topping should resemble coarse crumbs. Adjust the amount of flour or butter if necessary to achieve the desired texture.
- Baking Time: Keep an eye on the cake while it bakes, as oven temperatures may vary. It's done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, with moist crumbs attached.
- Cooling Properly: Allow the crumb cake to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps prevent the cake from breaking apart.
