Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy release.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the dry ingredients in three parts, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined—do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.
