Start by mixing 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup of cake flour in a bowl.

Add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the flour mixture and mix well.

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.

Pour in 1/2 cup of buttermilk, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 1 large egg, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla into the well.

Combine all the ingredients using a spoon until well mixed.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Spray an 8 by 8-inch pan (or 8.5 by 8.5-inch pan) with nonstick spray.

Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.

In a separate bowl, mix together 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of light brown sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon.

Drizzle in 2 sticks of melted butter into the dry mixture, mixing gradually until combined.

Squeeze the crumb mixture in your hand to form cobblestones and drop them onto the cake batter in the pan.

Ensure a good layer of crumb topping is on the cake.

Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes.

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely.

Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.
