Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 120 grams unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 large eggs
- 70 milliliters whole milk
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan.
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture is pale and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three batches, 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 and smooth the top 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 it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust with powdered sugar or serve as is, optionally with whipped cream or a dollop of vanilla ice cream.
