Ingredients:

2.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
310g
1 cup sugar
200g
1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
2/3 cup butter
150g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
2 yolks
33g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
1 cup buttermilk
230g

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and lightly flour a 9x13-inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Make the Crumb Topping:
- In a medium bowl, mix together 1 ½ cups of flour (from the 2 ½ cups measured), brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- Pour in the melted butter and stir until large crumbs form. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Cake Batter:
- In a large bowl, combine the remaining 1 cup of flour, the sugar, and baking soda.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, vanilla extract, and buttermilk.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the cake tender.
4. Assemble the Cake:
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the top of the batter, breaking up any large clumps with your fingers.
5. Bake:
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Keep an eye on the crumb topping to ensure it doesn’t over-brown.
6. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once completely cooled, cut into squares and serve. For an added touch, you can dust the cake with powdered sugar before serving.

Tips:

- Ensure your butter is at room temperature before starting to make it easier to mix with the other ingredients.

- When making the crumb topping, work quickly to prevent the butter from melting and the mixture from becoming too soft.

- Do not overmix the batter; combine until just incorporated to keep the cake light and fluffy.

- Use fresh buttermilk for the best flavor and texture in the cake.

- Allow the cake to cool completely before cutting to ensure clean slices and perfect presentation.
