Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Prepare the Streusel: In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped nuts (if using).
Layer the Cake: Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle half of the streusel mixture over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top and finish with the remaining streusel.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
