Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  2. Prepare your 9×13 inch baking pan by greasing and flouring it.
  3. Cream the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
  4. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon in a separate bowl.
  6. Mix the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, alternating with milk, until just combined.
  7. Prepare the crumble topping by mixing the brown sugar, remaining cinnamon, and nuts.
