Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup butter
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the butter into small cubes and work it into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and egg.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick.
Pour the batter into the greased baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
In a separate small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
