Instructions
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan and line the bottom with parchment.
- Beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Add the dry mixture to the butter mixture in two additions, alternating with the milk, and mix just until combined.
- Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons flour, then rub in the cold butter until crumbly. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 32 to 35 minutes, until the center springs back lightly and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool for 15 minutes before slicing.
