Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 2 count large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
In a small bowl, mix the light brown sugar and ground cinnamon to create the topping.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle half of the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture over the top.
Add the remaining batter in an even layer and sprinkle the rest of the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture on top.
Use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl the topping into the batter to create a marbled effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
