Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Cake:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup whole milk

Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square cake pan.
  2. Cream butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix just until combined.
  4. Prepare cinnamon sugar topping: In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon sugar topping ingredients. Sprinkle evenly over the cake batter and lightly swirl with a knife for a marbled effect.
  5. Bake: Bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Serve: Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • This cake pairs well with coffee or tea and can be served with a drizzle of glaze or dollop of whipped cream.
  • For a stronger cinnamon flavor, increase the cinnamon in the batter or topping.
