This Cinnamon Brunch Cake is a deliciously spiced cake that makes a perfect treat for any brunch gathering. It's moist, tender, and flavored with a swirl of cinnamon-sugar, topped with a crumbly streusel.
Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar divided
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon divided
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large bowl, beat together 1 cup of sugar and the butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with buttermilk, starting and ending with dry ingredients.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan. Mix the remaining sugar (1/4 cup) with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and brown sugar. Sprinkle evenly over the batter in the pan.
- Carefully spread the remaining batter over the sugar mixture, and sprinkle the top with the remaining cinnamon.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
