Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan or line with parchment paper.

- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.

- In a separate bowl, make the streusel by mixing flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in melted butter until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the cake batter.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the pan before drizzling with glaze.
- For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, cream (or milk), and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake.
