Ingredients

Scale

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cut into pieces)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
  • 1 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp orange zest
  • 2 tbsp orange juice
  • 1/2 cup milk or buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease and flour an 8×8″ or 9×9″ pan.
  2. Make the crumb: combine 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup cold butter, 1 cup flour, 1 tsp ground cardamom, and a pinch of salt; cut or rub until coarse crumbs form and chill briefly.
  3. Whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp cardamom.
  4. Cream 1/2 cup butter with 3/4 cup granulated sugar until light, then add 2 eggs, one at a time; stir in 1 tsp orange zest and 2 tbsp orange juice.
  5. Alternate adding dry mix and 1/2 cup milk until just combined.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan, sprinkle crumb topping evenly on top.
  7. Bake for 30-40 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool on a rack before slicing.

Notes

For a nuttier crumb, stir 1/2 cup chopped almonds or walnuts into the crumb. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
