INGREDIENTS:

- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
- For the streusel:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- For the frosting:
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
- Alternately add dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Beat until just combined.
- In a small bowl, combine streusel ingredients and mix until crumbly.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with half of the streusel. Pour the remaining batter over the streusel and sprinkle with the remaining streusel.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before frosting.
- To make the frosting, beat together powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, and milk until smooth and creamy.
- Frost the cake with the frosting.
TIPS:
- For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar in the streusel.
- To make the streusel easier to crumble, use a pastry cutter or two knives.
- If the cake is too dry, add an extra tablespoon or two of milk to the batter.
