Ingredients

Scale

Cake Batter

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk

Cinnamon Sugar Filling

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Streusel Topping

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×9-inch baking pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside for later use.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This helps incorporate air for a tender cake.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract to add flavor.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with the milk, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.
  6. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Filling: In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  7. Layer Batter and Filling: Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar filling evenly over this batter layer.
  8. Add Remaining Batter: Spoon the remaining cake batter gently over the cinnamon sugar layer. Spread carefully to cover the filling without mixing the layers.
  9. Make Streusel Topping: For the topping, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and the cold butter pieces. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until crumbly, forming a streusel.
  10. Top and Bake: Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the top of the cake batter. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  11. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter for the streusel topping is cold to achieve a crumbly texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake tender and fluffy.
  • Use a toothpick to test doneness; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • The cake is best enjoyed the same day but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature with coffee or tea.
