Ingredients

Topping

  • 2 cups 241g all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup 198g granulated sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 12 tablespoons 170g unsalted butter, melted

Cake Batter

  • 8 tablespoons 113g unsalted butter, at room temperature, at least 65°F
  • 1 cup 198g granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup 227g sourdough starter, unfed/discard
  • 2 cups 241g all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons instant mashed potato flakes
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup 57g milk, room temperature
  • Powdered sugar for topping, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9x9 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • For Topping: 
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Add the vanilla and almond extracts to the melted butter and pour the butter into the flour mixture, stirring until you have a uniformly moist mixture.
  • Set aside while you make the batter.
  • For Batter: 
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until well combined.
  • Add the eggs, vanilla, and starter, mixing until smooth and scraping the bowl's sides and bottom as you go.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, potato flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder.
  • Add to the butter/starter mixture, stirring until evenly combined.
  • Add the milk and mix until smooth.
  • Spread the batter in the prepared pan.
  • Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the top.
  • Bake the cake for 45 to 50 minutes, until a paring knife inserted in the center comes out clean, and the edge of the cake just barely pulls away from the pan.
  • Remove it from the oven and cool on a rack.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
