Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Crumb Topping:
  • 296 grams of gluten-free 1:1 baking flour
  • 200 grams of packed light brown sugar
  • 2.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon of salt
  • 226 grams of unsalted butter, melted
  • For the Cake:
  • 296 grams of gluten-free 1:1 baking flour
  • 200 grams of granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 120 milliliters of neutral oil (avocado or vegetable)
  • 245 grams of plain whole milk yogurt or sour cream, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract
  • 120 milliliters of milk (dairy or non-dairy), at room temperature
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×9 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the topping. Pour the melted butter over and stir with a fork until large, moist clumps form. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt for the cake.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, yogurt, and vanilla until smooth and well-combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until just combined. The batter will be thick. Gently stir in the milk until the batter is smooth and no dry streaks remain. Avoid overmixing.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer.
  • Take handfuls of the crumb topping, break it apart, and cover the entire surface of the batter in a thick, generous layer.
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake (not just the crumbs) comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, use the parchment paper to lift it out. Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.
