INGREDIENTS
Cake
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¾ cup dairy-free milk (oat or soy work best)
⅓ cup neutral oil or melted vegan butter
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp vanilla bean paste (or 2 tsp vanilla extract)

Crumb Topping
¾ cup all-purpose flour
⅓ cup brown sugar
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 ½ tsp cinnamon
Pinch salt
5 tbsp melted vegan butter or neutral oil

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment, leaving overhang for lifting.
In a bowl, mix flour, sugars, cinnamon, and salt.
Stir in melted butter or oil until large crumbs form.
Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add dairy-free milk, oil (or butter), vinegar, and vanilla.
Whisk just until smooth — don’t overmix.
Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
Sprinkle crumb topping evenly over the batter, gently pressing larger chunks into the surface so they don’t disappear while baking.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, until:
Top is golden
Crumbs look set
A toothpick comes out clean from the center

Cool at least 20 minutes before slicing.
