**Brown Sugar Crumb:**

**Coffee Cake:**
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the room temperature butter and sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, vanilla, and almond extract, and mix for another 2 minutes on medium-high speed until light and fluffy.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and alternate adding the buttermilk and flour mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined after each addition.
- Spread half the batter evenly in the prepared pan, then sprinkle half the crumbs over the top. Spread the remaining batter over the crumbs, then top with the remaining crumbs.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool for about 15 minutes before topping with the vanilla bean glaze.
**Vanilla Bean Glaze:**
- In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar and vanilla. Gradually whisk in the cream until the glaze is thick but pourable.
- When the cake is slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top using a spoon or a piping bag.
