Difficulty Level: 2 (Moderate)
Preparation Method Steps:
- Prepare the Crumble Topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and sugar. Add the cold cubed butter and use your fingers to work it into the dry ingredients until coarse crumbs form.
- Make the Cake Batter: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk and beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
- Assemble the Cake: Pour half of the cake batter into a greased and floured 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the batter. Pour the remaining cake batter over the crumble topping.
- Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

- Make sure the butter for the crumble topping is very cold. This will help prevent the crumbs from becoming greasy.
- If you don't have a 9x13-inch baking dish, you can use an 8x8-inch dish. Just be sure to adjust the baking time as needed.
- To prevent the cake from overbaking, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
