Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, whole milk, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the cake stays tender.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake cools, prepare the cinnamon glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable. Add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed to adjust consistency.
Once the cake has cooled slightly (but is still warm), drizzle the cinnamon glaze over the top. Use a spatula or back of a spoon to spread the glaze evenly, if desired.
Allow the glaze to set for 10 minutes before slicing the cake into squares.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
