Preheat the oven to 375F degrees. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
In a small bowl, blend the streusel crumb topping ingredients together, working the butter into the flour until well incorporated, and set aside.
In large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed, beat all flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, butter, egg and milk for 30 seconds.
Increase the speed to medium and continue to beat, scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary, until well blended.
Spread half the batter into the prepared pan and spread half the crumb topping over it. Cover with the remaining batter and then the rest of the topping.
Bake for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool on a wire rack for 15-20 minutes before serving.
