Ingredients

Cake

  • 1 stick Earth Balance vegan butter, softened
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons oat milk ( or whatever milk alternative)
  • 2 cups flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup vegan buttermilk (2 teaspoons white vinegar added to the milk, let sit for 5 min)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Filling

  • 3 tablespoons neutral oil
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar

Topping

  • ¼ cup flour
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cold earth balance vegan butter
  • 1 TB ground, cinnamon

Instructions

  •  Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease an 8x8 pan with cooking spray and set aside.
    2. Make your buttermilk by putting 2 teaspoons of white vinegar in a glass liquid measuring cup, then fill it the rest of the way to ¾ cup. Stir, set aside and let sit until you're ready to use it ( this will thicken up a bit).
    3. Take your stand or hand mixer and cream together the butter and sugars from the cake recipe area then add in the 2 TB milk, 1.5 teaspoon vanilla mix until incorporated you may need to scrape down the sides.  Add the baking powder, baking soda, and salt, mix. Then add in your flour and buttermilk mix until incorporated and set aside.
    4. Take half of your batter and spread it in the 8x8 pan, this is sticky and not the easiest to work with. If you wet your hands or a spatula it will make spreading easier.  Set aside.
    5. Get a small bowl and mix your filling together by adding the ingredients together. Take the filling and drop it all over the batter in the 8x8 pan. Then try your best to spread it evenly, again sticky- wet hands or wet spatula again. Set aside.
    6. Take your now empty filling bowl and make your topping by taking the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon together, then cut in the 3 TB cold butter with a pastry cutter until coarse crumbs. Set aside
    7. Add the remaining batter topping and spread evenly. Then sprinkle the topping mixture over the top.
    8. Bake for 35-45 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.  Do not over bake.  Let it cool before serving.
