How to Make Dutch Cinnamon Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  3. In a large bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  4. Add ½ cup milk, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until well combined.
  5. Add ½ cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter and mix until just incorporated.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
  7. Melt the remaining ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and drizzle evenly over the batter.
  8. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the melted butter.
