- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together butter, sugars, cinnamon and salt. Stir in cake flour until mixture becomes a cohesive dough; set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking pan with aluminum foil with excess foil hanging over sides for easy removal. Lightly grease and flour bottom and sides of aluminum foil.
- In a large bowl, mix together all cake ingredients (cake flour, sugar, soda, salt, oil, buttermilk and eggs) until just combined. Pour evenly into pan.
- Evenly spoon raspberry jam over batter. Use an angled spatula to help spread the jam over the batter being careful not to swirl.
- Break apart crumb topping and generously apply crumbs over the jam covering the entire surface. Continue layering until all of the crumbs are used.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Serve warm or at room temperature. ENJOY!
