Ingredients

Cake:

6 tb unsalted butter; very soft

1 c sugar

2 eggs; room temperature

1 ts vanilla extract

1 c unbleached flour

3 tb cornmeal

1 ts baking powder

1/2 ts salt

1/2 c milk

Topping:

6 tb unsalted butter

3/4 c flour

3/4 c brown sugar; firmly packed

1/2 ts cinnamon

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly butter a 9-inch cake pan.

For the cake, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until

creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla, and beat until very smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Sprinkle in the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt, and beat 10

seconds. Pour in the milk and beat just until the batter is evenly

moistened, about 1 minute. Spoon the batter into the pan and smooth thentop.

In another mediium-size mixing bowl, combine the crumb topping ingredients. Using your hands or a pastry blender, combine the mixture until it resembles fine crumbs. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the cake batter.

Bake 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center of the cake comes out dry. Let the cake cool completely before serving.
