• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs

For the streusel topping:

• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or similar-sized pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
6. To make the streusel topping, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, melted butter, and flour in a small bowl. Mix until crumbly, then sprinkle the topping evenly over the cake batter.
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature with a cup of coffee or tea.
