SIMPLE CINNAMON CAKE

This Simple Cinnamon Cake is light and wonderful. Perfect for the cinnamon lover on a Sunday brunch!

So, I did it again.

Confused the ground cinnamon with ground cumin.

I mean, I didn’t confuse them in terms of not knowing the difference. I just accidentally grabbed the wrong one. Because OMG why do they look so similar? And also, why do I keep housing them next to each other? WHY?

Unlike many successful recipes that have actually originated out of a mistake, cumin cake is not one of them. HA.

This Simple Cinnamon Cake is light and wonderful. Perfect for the cinnamon lover on a Sunday brunch or Easter!

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
• 2/3 cup unsalted butter , softened
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 3 large eggs
• 2/3 cup whole milk

Cinnamon Syrup Glaze

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup water
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease and lightly flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, beat together the sugar, butter, and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, fully incorporating between each one.
4. Beat in the flour mixture, alternating with the milk.
5. Pour batter in the prepared pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Remove cake from oven; cool 10 minutes.
7. While the cake cools, make the cinnamon glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, butter, vanilla, and cinnamon. Heat over medium until sugar is dissolved and mixture is slightly thickened.
8. Turn cake out onto a wire rack set over a plate. Using a fork, poke holes all over the cake, then drizzle with the cinnamon syrup glaze.
9. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
