Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, dotted on top
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or a similar-sized pan.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
Add the milk, melted butter, and egg to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined and no dry streaks remain, but do not overmix.
Step 4
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
Step 5
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.
Step 6
Dot the top of the cake with small pieces of butter, about 2 tablespoons total, allowing it to melt into the topping as it bakes.
Step 7
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture, optionally paired with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of icing.
