Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat the oven and grease a baking pan for easier cake removal later.
- Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
- Mix milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla smoothly inside another bowl completely.
- Combine wet ingredients with dry ingredients and stir until fully incorporated gently.
- Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, and softened butter until crumbly texture forms.
- Spread batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle crumble evenly across the top.
- Bake until the center sets and crumbs turn golden with buttery crisp edges.
- Cool slightly before slicing for cleaner pieces and softer cake texture inside.
Notes
Bake slightly less for softer texture or longer for crispier crumble topping. Freeze cooled slices tightly wrapped for quick breakfasts later. Handle warm cake carefully because crumbs loosen easily before cooling fully. Add chopped pecans, apples, or glaze for flavor variations. Store covered at room temperature for up to three days.
