Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 125 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 125 milliliters whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
- 20 grams unsalted butter (melted, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease and line a 20 cm (8-inch) round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the egg into the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the topping by mixing the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together in a small bowl.
Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
While the cake is still warm, brush the top with the melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top.
Let the cake cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy it fresh with a cup of tea or coffee!
