Directions
Prep:15 mCook:45 mReady:2 h 10 m
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan; set aside.
- For crumble, whisk cake flour, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl. Pour in melted butter. Crumble with your hands until mixture forms chunks. Let stand for at least 10 minutes for flour to absorb butter.
- For cake, stir all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in another bowl until well combined. Add egg, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla and stir until well incorporated. Spread into the prepared pan.
- Add crumble over cake batter by breaking into large chunks.
- Bake until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, for 45 to 55 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour.
