Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line with parchment.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup cold butter with your fingers until crumbly. Set aside for topping.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk remaining 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Cut in remaining 1/4 cup butter until pea-sized.
Step 4
Beat in the egg and milk until just combined; batter will be lumpy. Spread into the pan.
Step 5
Sprinkle topping evenly over batter. Bake until golden and a toothpick comes out clean, 25–30 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before slicing.
