Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup grated cheddar cheese

For the Crumble Topping:

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cold butter, cubed
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup grated cheddar cheese

Optional Garnish:

  • Powdered sugar
  • Extra shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Heat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease a baking pan to prevent sticking and set aside.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together to evenly distribute the leavening agents and salt.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and sugar together with an electric mixer or by hand until the mixture becomes creamy and pale in color, indicating it’s properly aerated.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Slowly incorporate the eggs one at a time into the creamed butter and sugar, beating well after each addition. Then blend in the vanilla extract thoroughly.
  5. Incorporate Milk: Gradually add the milk to the wet mixture, mixing continuously until a smooth batter forms without lumps.
  6. Fold in Cheese: Gently stir the grated cheddar cheese evenly into the batter to distribute its flavor throughout the cake.
  7. Pour Batter into Pan: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula if needed.
  8. Prepare Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, rub the flour, cold cubed butter, brown sugar, and grated cheddar cheese together using your fingertips until the mixture resembles sandy crumbs. This forms the buttery, crunchy topping.
  9. Top Cake with Crumble: Evenly scatter the crumble topping over the surface of the cake batter in the pan.
  10. Bake the Cake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  11. Cool and Garnish: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before removing. Optionally dust with powdered sugar or sprinkle extra shredded cheddar cheese for an enhanced buttery and cheesy finish before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter for the crumble topping is cold to create the ideal crumbly texture.
  • You can substitute the cheddar cheese with other sharp cheeses like aged gouda or parmesan for different flavor profiles.
  • Serve the cake slightly warm or at room temperature for the best taste and texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • This cake pairs wonderfully with coffee or tea for a savory-sweet snack experience.
