01 Heat the oven to 375 F.
02 Into a medium bowl, sift together 2 cups of flour, the granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in 1/3 cup of butter with pastry blender to make a fine crumbly mixture. Add the beaten egg and milk; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened.
03 Spoon batter into a generously buttered 9-inch square pan. Spoon both kinds of preserves over the batter and then swirl it through the batter with a knife.
04 Mix topping ingredients with fork or fingers until crumbly and sprinkle evenly over batter.
05 Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
06 Cut into squares and serve while still warm.
