Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer on medium speed. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined and smooth.
Step 6
In a small bowl, stir together the ground cinnamon and brown sugar to create the cinnamon-sugar swirl mixture.
Step 7
Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter. Pour the remaining cake batter on top and spread it out evenly. Finish by sprinkling the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Once the cake has cooled, dust powdered sugar over the top for a finishing touch. Slice and serve with your favorite cup of coffee.
