Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare your baking tins by thoroughly greasing them, set aside.
To make the cake
- Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar.
- Add eggs, beat until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt).
- Add half of dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mix until combined.
- Add half of the milk, then the remaining dry ingredients, then the remaining milk. Mixing after each addition.
- Set mixture aside while you prepare the filling.
To make the filling
- Whisk together flour, cinnamon and brown sugar.
- Cut in the softened butter with a fork or your fingers. Work until mixture is crumbly.
- Spread half of the cake batter throughout the greased baking tin, then sprinkle all of the filling over it.
- Top with the remaining cake batter and spread evenly, completely covering all of the filling with batter.
To make the topping
- Using the same bowl that was used for the filling (if desired, since ingredients were the same), whisk together flour, brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Cut in softened butter using a fork or your fingers. Pinch mixture together to form some larger pieces (to resemble a streusel topping) and sprinkle over the top of the batter to generously cover the entire pan.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes (baking time will depend on your pan), or until edges just begin to brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature before removing the cakes from the pan. Use a butter knife to loosen the edges if needed.
