Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 3

Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and add to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers, mix until the butter is incorporated, forming a crumb-like texture.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped nuts gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and additional ground cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
