Brown sugar keeps this simple vanilla crumb cake extra soft!
Ingredients
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cold salted butter, cut into cubes

  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading to cover the entire bottom of the pan evenly.

  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
