Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Make the filling by combining all its ingredients in a bowl until no visible chunks remain.
3. For the streusel, cut the butter into the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl with a pastry knife until the butter pieces are about ¼ inch across; some larger and smaller pieces are fine. Set aside.
4. Cream the butter in a stand mixer with the paddle on high speed for 5 to 7 minutes, until light and fluffy.
5. Add the sugar and cream on medium-high for 3 to 4 minutes.
6. Add the vanilla, then the eggs one at a time, mixing each until fully incorporated. Scrape the bowl before the next step.
7. Whisk the flour, salt and baking powder in a separate bowl.
8. On low speed, add half the flour mixture and mix. Slowly pour in all the milk and mix until combined.
9. Add the remaining flour and mix until fully incorporated. Scrape the bowl, then mix on low for 1 to 2 more minutes.
10. Spread half the batter evenly in a greased 13x9-inch casserole dish.
11. Sprinkle the filling evenly over the batter and gently press it flat.
12. Spread the remaining batter over the filling, covering it completely.
13. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top.
14. Bake at 350°F for about 50 to 55 minutes, until firm in the centre or reaching 190 to 195°F internally.
15. Cool on a rack slightly before slicing.
