Streusel
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup organic Einkorn wheat flour (or unbleached, all-purpose flour)
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup organic salted butter, cut into 8 pieces
Cake
3 cups organic Einkorn wheat flour or unbleached, all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 small lemon, zested
1 cup milk (I use organic, whole milk)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup salted organic butter
1 1/2 cups sugar (I use organic sugar)
5 eggs (I use organic, free-range eggs from my backyard chickens)

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Grease bundt pan with butter (be very generous and be sure to cover the entire surface), then coat the butter with flour.
2
Make the streusel topping: mix together flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Rub the butter pieces in with your fingers until small clumps form. Set aside.
3
Sift (or whisk) together the flour, baking powder, and lemon zest and set aside. Mix milk with vanilla extract and set aside.
4
Beat the butter and sugar together on medium speed in the bowl of an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating between each addition. Add the flour mixture 1/3 at a time, alternating with the milk mixture. Scrape the bowl, and then beat on low until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
5
Sprinkle 1/3 of the streusel mixture into prepared pan. Spoon about 1/2 of the batter on top of the streusel, then sprinkle the rest of the streusel evenly over the batter. Spoon the remaining batter into the pan over the streusel.
6
Bake for 1 hour, or until cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan for about 15 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a serving platter to remove.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
