For the Cake

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour half of the prepared cake batter into the greased baking pan, spread it evenly, then spoon the cream cheese mixture over it, followed by the rest of the batter.
  5. Sprinkle the crumb topping generously over the batter and cream cheese layers.
  6. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar and serving.

Notes

Ensure your cream cheese is softened before mixing and be careful not to overmix your batter to avoid a dense cake. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
