Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined.

Step 6

Add the vanilla extract and mix until evenly distributed. Do not overmix the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once fully cooled, optionally dust the top with powdered sugar before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
