Ingredients

• 125 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 190 grams all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 125 milliliters whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
• 20 grams unsalted butter (melted, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease and line a 20 cm (8-inch) round cake pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Add the egg into the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly incorporated.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

While the cake is baking, prepare the topping by mixing the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together in a small bowl.

Step 10

Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

Step 11

While the cake is still warm, brush the top with the melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top.

Step 12

Let the cake cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy it fresh with a cup of tea or coffee!
