Ingredients

1 cup milk
4 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Powdered sugar for dusting
Maple syrup for serving

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Make the Custard: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Prepare the Batter: In another bowl, mix the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the melted butter.
Combine: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Pour the custard mixture over the top, ensuring it covers the batter.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before dusting with powdered sugar and serving with maple syrup.
