Ingredients
 
 

Streusel Topping

  • cup sugar
  • ½ cup oat flour 60 grams
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ cup butter

Cake

  • 2 ¼ cups oat flour 241 grams
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup whole milk

Cinnamon Swirl

  • cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions
 

Make Streusel

  • Place the flour in a small bowl and whisk in the sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Work the room temperature butter into the dry ingredients using your fingertips, or a fork until it's well incorporated and crumbly. Set aside.

Make Cinnamon Swirl

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon.

Make Cake

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In another large bowl, using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the sugar, butter, and egg together. Beat in the milk and flour in alternate additions, beginning with the milk and ending with the flour until well combined.
  • Spread half of the batter in a buttered 8x8 pan lined with a piece of parchment paper. Then evenly sprinkle over the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Top with the remaining batter.
  • Preheat the oven to 375℉. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the top of the batter and let it rest while the oven heats.
  • Bake the cake for about 45 minutes, until a tester comes out clean and the top is set.
  • Remove from the oven, let cool for 20 minutes on a wire rack, then cut and serve directly from the pan.
