Ingredients

Cake

1 cup Milk.
2 tsp White Vinegar.
2½ cup Flour.
¾ cup Sugar Alternative. --Granular sugar alternative that measures like sugar.
1 tbsp Baking Powder
½ cup Vegetable Oil
1 tsp Vanilla Extract.
⅔ cup Sour Cream

Crumb Topping.

2 cups Flour.
1 cup Brown Sugar Alternative.
2 tsp Ground Cinnamon.
1 cup Butter. -Use cold unsalted butter that has been cut into tablespoons.

Instructions

Prepare. Preheat your oven to 350℉. Prep your baking dish well for nonstick. Greasing it with butter works well in this recipe.
Vinegar. Place your milk into a small bowl or large measuring cup. Stir in the vinegar and allow this to sit for five minutes while you go on to the next step.
Dry Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar alternative, and baking powder. Then make a well in the center of the ingredients.
Combine. Pour the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and sour cream into the well that you just made in the dry ingredients. Then add the milk and vinegar from the second step and mix until combined. Make sure that you scrape the sides of the bowl as you do not want any dry spots (small lumps can bake out).
Transfer. Evenly spread the mixture out in your prepared baking dish. You can gently tap the bottom of the dish on your kitchen counter a couple times to help it settle.
Topping. To make the crumb topping, in a clean bowl, whisk together the brown sugar alternative, flour and cinnamon. Use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the ingredients. Cut the ingredients until most of the dry ingredients are mixed well with it, it should be crumbly, not smooth. Then sprinkle the topping evenly over the cake batter in the baking dish.
Bake Bake the cake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs on it.
Cool. Allow the cake to cool before serving.
