How to Make Beer Cake With Streusel Topping

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together beer, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. For the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, oats, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle evenly with the streusel topping.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
