Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon for topping
1/4 cup powdered sugar for icing (optional)
2 tablespoons milk for icing (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping.
Layer and Bake: Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan, sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over it, then add the remaining batter and top with the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Ice: Allow the cake to cool in the pan. If desired, mix powdered sugar and milk to create a simple icing, then drizzle over the cooled cake before serving.
