Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease and flour a 13x9-inch baking pan.
2. Cream the butter and cream cheese together, then beat in the sugars until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl, then stir in the vanilla.
4. Whisk the flour, baking powder, cornstarch and salt in a bowl. Add this to the wet ingredients gradually, alternating with the buttermilk, until just combined.
5. Spread about half the batter in the pan.
6. Whisk the sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle evenly over the batter.
7. Dollop the remaining batter over the cinnamon layer and spread it gently with a knife, or swirl the cinnamon in with a knife if it resists.
8. Melt the butter in short 10-second bursts, stirring between, until just melted and not hot. Stir the flour, sugars, cinnamon and salt together with a fork, pour in the butter and toss with a fork until crumbly.
9. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the batter.
10. Bake at 350°F for 40-50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
11. Cool completely before cutting and serving.
12. Optional glaze: whisk powdered sugar with milk and drizzle over the cooled cake.
