Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until well blended.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Gently fold in the raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for the topping.

Step 8

Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter in the baking dish.

Step 9

Pour the remaining batter on top and spread it evenly, then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

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