Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F and adjust an oven rack to the upper middle position. Line an 8x8-inch square pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
Crumb Topping
- In a medium bowl, whisk 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1 3/4 cup flour.
- Pour 1/2 cup melted butter over the mixture and mix thoroughly. Mixture will be thick and doughy. Set aside.
Cake
- With a hand or stand mixer, combine the 1 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- With the mixer on low, add 6 tablespoons butter one piece at a time. Mix until flour mixture resembles moist crumbs with no visible butter chunks remaining, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add 1 egg, 1 yolk, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and1/3 cup buttermilk. Beat at medium for 1-2 minutes until the batter becomes light and fluffy, scrape down the sides of the bowl if necessary.
- Spread the cake batter evenly into the prepared pan. Top the batter with an even layer of pea-sized crumble topping pieces.
- Bake the cake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean and crumb-free. Cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove the cake from the pan by lifting it out of the pan by the edges of the parchment paper and dust it with powdered sugar.

Notes
- Make sure to use Cake Flour and NOT all-purpose flour. With all-purpose flour, you'll end up with a dry, tough cake. Cake flour ensures the batter is light, fluffy and moist.
- STORE the cake in an airtight container for 2-3 days at room temperature or 4-5 days in the fridge.
- FREEZE. Wrap the slices in plastic wrap and again with aluminum foil. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
