Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease and flour your tube pan and set aside.

Step 2

Cream butter and sugar in a stand mixer for 4-5 minutes, or until light and fluffy.

Step 3

While the butter and sugar are creaming, you will make the crumb topping and filling.

Step 4

For the crumb topping I like to use my food processor but you can also use a pastry blender or even your hands! Add the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt to the food processor. Cut the cold butter into cubes and add to the dry ingredients. Pulse until it all starts to come together, about 2 minutes. The mixture will become darker and start to clump together, and that's when you know it's ready! Pour the mixture into a bowl and put into the fridge until you need it.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, add in the ingredients for the center filling and stir to combine. Set aside.

Step 6

Sift the cake flour, baking soda and baking powder together and add the stand mixer. Mix until it all comes together. The batter will be thick so don't worry!

Step 7

Layer half of the batter into the pan and smooth. Spoon in the center filling and then layer the rest of the batter on top.

Step 8

Put the pan in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.

Step 9

After 20 minutes, remove the cake from the oven. Pull the crumb topping from the fridge and sprinkle over the top of the half baked cake. Return to the oven to bake for an additional 25-30 minutes.

Step 10

Once the cake is done, pull from the oven and let it completely cool on a cooling rack. Once cooled, carefully remove from the pan.

Step 11

To make the glaze, mix the powdered sugar, vanilla, heavy whipping cream and salt and mix until smooth. Add more of the whipping cream to get your desired consistency if you want it thinner. Drizzle on the cake and you're ready to serve
