Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Optionally, line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper and grease it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, blend the melted butter, egg, and buttermilk until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, creating a slightly lumpy batter.
  5. Pour half of the batter into the prepared dish and level it with a spatula.
  6. In a bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour for the streusel filling, optionally adding chopped nuts.
  7. Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the batter layer.
  8. Spread the remaining batter on top of the streusel, covering it completely.
  9. In a separate bowl, combine ingredients for the crumb topping until crumbly and sprinkle over the top layer of batter.
  10. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  11. Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes before glazing with a mixture of powdered sugar and milk.
