Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Sift together all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Stir into the egg mixture in batches, alternating with milk.

Step 5

Pour batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle with reserved cinnamon and sugar mixture. Set aside.

Step 6

Mix brown sugar and cake flour together in a bowl until well combined. Cut in butter using a pastry blender; work mixture until crumbly to create streusel. Sprinkle streusel on top of cake.
