  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1                cup  butter -- two sticks, room temperature
  1                cup  sugar
  1 1/2      teaspoons  vanilla extract
  4                     eggs
  2               cups  flour
  2          teaspoons  baking powder
                        Streusel Topping
  1                cup  flour
     2/3           cup  brown sugar -- firmly packed
  1           teaspoon  cinnamon
     1/2           cup  cold butter -- one stick, cut into tablespoon pieces

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

You will need two muffin pans that hold 12 muffins each. Lightly spray cups with cooking spray. I would not recommend using cupcake papers for these.

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar. Add the vanilla and eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Combine the flour and baking powder together in a bowl and add to the butter, sugar, and egg mixture. Mix on low speed until well blended-the batter will be very thick.

Divide the batter evenly among the 24 cups. This will fill them about half way.

For the topping, mix together the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl.

Add the hard butter and cut it in to the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs-you can use your hands for this, rubbing it between your fingertips. Don't make it too fine, you want it to have some texture to it. Note: I use my hand held pastry blender tool.

Put about 1 tablespoon of the streusel topping over each cake using up all of the topping;you will not see much of the atter.

Bake in a preheated oven on two shelves for about 18 minutes, switching shelves after the first 10 minutes.

They are done when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Do not overbake;start checking them at about 16 minutes.

Cool 5 minutes in the pans, then remove to a cooling rack.

For OAMC: Let cool completely. Freeze in gallon freezer bag. Let thaw before eating. I like to microwave mine for 20-30 seconds before eating.
