Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
