Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
1/4 cup sugar
50g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
2 eggs
100g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1/2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
60g
2 cups milk (1% fat)
480g
1/3 cup vanilla extract
50g
2 tbsp brown sugar
30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Grease and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Cake Batter:
- In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is well mixed before adding the next.
- Sift together the self-raising flour and the all-purpose white wheat flour. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.
3. Prepare the Custard:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, 1/3 cup of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture comes to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Let the custard cool slightly. Once slightly cooled, pour it over the cake batter carefully.
4. Bake the Cake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

5. Cool and Serve:
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once completely cooled, remove from the pan, slice, and serve.

Tips:

- Always use room temperature butter for easier mixing and a smoother batter.

- For a richer flavor, you can replace the 1% fat milk with whole milk or even a mix of milk and cream.

- Make sure to cool the custard properly before adding it to the cake to prevent it from becoming runny.

- To make the crumb topping extra crisp, chill it in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before baking.

- For added texture and flavor, consider sprinkling a few chopped nuts or a dusting of cinnamon on the crumb topping.
