    Preparation

    Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray a 9×9 pan with non stick baking spray.

    In a large bowl, cream butter and white sugar. Stir in vanilla, egg, baking powder, and salt. Alternate stirring in flour and milk until just combined. Do not over-mix.

    Pour half of batter into prepared pan.

    For the cinnamon swirl, in a small bowl, combine butter, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Pour into the batter in pan, and swirl with a knife. Pour remaining batter on top.

    For the crumb topping, in the same small bowl using 2 forks, stir butter, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle topping on top of batter, and press in lightly.

    Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
