Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup milk
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Cream together the butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy — about 3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the milk until well combined.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a separate bowl; gradually stir this dry mixture into the creamed mixture until just blended.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it out gently with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar and nuts (if using) evenly over the batter.
- Spread the remaining batter on top to cover the filling.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool before slicing to ensure delicious layers hold together nicely.
