Ingredients
For the Cake:
-
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
For the Cinnamon-Sugar Filling:
-
1/2 cup granulated sugar
-
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
For the 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
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×9-inch baking pan.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar for the filling. Set aside.
-
Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter.
-
Spoon the remaining cake batter over the cinnamon layer and gently spread it out to cover.
-
For the streusel topping, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and cold butter in a small bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until crumbly. Sprinkle this topping over the cake batter.
-
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.
Notes
-
You can add a drizzle of icing on top for extra sweetness, but it’s not necessary.
-
For a more indulgent version, serve this cake with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
-
This cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
