New York Crumb Cake

Instructions

1. Make sure the rack is set up in the center of your oven. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
2. Grease the 9 x 13-inch pan and set aside.
3. Make the Batter: In a medium-large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, granulated white sugar, baking powder, and Kosher salt. In another large mixing bowl, combine egg, milk, Canola oil, and vanilla extract. Fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture. Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Using an offset spatula, spread the batter to all the edges.
4. Make the Crumb Topping: In a medium mixing bowl, add 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, dark brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the melted butter over the flour mixture, and toss the mixture until large crumbs form. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the batter.
5. Bake the Cake: Bake for 20 minutes, turning/rotating 10 minutes into baking. A knife or toothpick should come out clean when it's done. (I sometimes have to bake 5 minutes long for a total of 25 minutes). When the cake is done, place the cake on a wire rack in the pan to cool. Before serving, dust with confectioner's sugar. You can use a bench/dough scraper (or a serrated knife) to cut the cake.
