This cake is heavily crumbed. Some folks love crumbs, some don't! I cannot remember where I found the recipe.
New York Crumb Cake
Baking time 20-25 mins. Oven 325 degrees F
Sift these four together:
l-1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup white sugar
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Whisk these four together in a small separate bowl:
1 egg
l/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
Mix together by stirring with wooden spoon. Grease and flour baking pan, approx. 13x8". Spread batter evenly. It will look scanty, but don't worry.
Topping
1 cup melted butter
1 cup brown sugar
2-1/2 cups flour
1-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Stir topping ingredients together with a fork, or crumble together by hand. Sprinkle crumbs thickly on top of cake batter.
Bake cake for approx. 20 mins. Cool cake (in pan) for 10 mins., then sift a bit (about 1/4 cup) of powdered sugar over the top.
