Grease and flour a baking pan.

In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in milk and vanilla extract until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan.

Sprinkle half of the streusel topping over the batter.

Spread the remaining batter on top and finish with the remaining streusel topping.

Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
