Ingredients:



For the Crumb Topping
1/3 cup granulated sugar (2 2/3 ounces)
1/3 cup dark brown sugar (2 2/3 ounces)
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon table salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), melted and still warm
1 3/4 cups cake flour (7 ounces)

For the Cake
1 1/4 cups cake flour (5 ounces)
1/2 cup granulated sugar (3 1/2 ounces)
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon table salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter (3/4 stick), cut into 6 pieces, softened but still cool
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup buttermilk
Confectioners’ sugar for dusting



Directions:


1. To make the Topping:
Whisk sugars, cinnamon, salt, and butter in medium bowl to combine. Add
flour and stir with rubber spatula or wooden spoon until mixture
resembles thick, cohesive dough; set aside to cool to room temperature,
10 to 15 minutes.


2. To make the Cake: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line 9×13 pan with nonstick foil.

3. In bowl of standing mixer fitted with paddle attachment, mix
flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt on low speed to combine. With mixer
running at low speed, add butter one piece at a time; continue beating
until mixture resembles moist crumbs, with no visible butter chunks
remaining, 1 to 2 minutes. Add egg, yolk, vanilla, and buttermilk; beat
on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute, scraping
once if necessary.


4. Transfer batter to baking pan; using rubber spatula, spread batter
into even layer. Top with the large crumbs.  Bake until crumbs are golden
and wooden skewer inserted into center of cake comes out clean, 35 to 40
minutes. Cool on wire rack at least 30 minutes. Remove cake from pan by
lifting foil overhang. Dust with confectioners’ sugar just before
serving.
