Ingredients (Serves 8-10):
*For the Crumb Topping:*
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
*For the Cake Batter:*
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 2/3 cup buttermilk
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
*Step 1: Create the Crumb Topping*
In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt for the crumb topping. Pour in the melted butter and use a fork to mix until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Set aside.
*Step 2: Mix the Cake Batter*
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a square baking pan. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt for the cake batter.
*Step 3: Incorporate Wet Ingredients*
Add the softened butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Use an electric mixer to blend the ingredients until a smooth batter forms.
*Step 4: Assemble the Layers*
Pour the cake batter into the greased baking pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the prepared crumb topping generously over the batter.
*Step 5: Bake to Perfection*
Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. The crumb topping should be beautifully golden and the cake should be springy to the touch.
*Step 6: Cool and Serve**
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
*Step 7: Slice and Savor*
Once the cake has cooled, slice it into generous portions. Each slice will reveal the moist, buttery cake cradling a layer of delectable crumb topping. Serve and savor the symphony of textures and flavors in every bite.
