Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the batter bakes evenly.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In another bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

  5. 5

    Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.

  6. 6

    Fold in Optional Ingredients

    If desired, fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.

  7. 7

    Prepare Baking Pan

    Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

  8. 8

    Pour Batter

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Baking Steps

  1. 9

    Bake the Mixture

    Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  2. 10

    Cool the Cake

    Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

  3. 11

    Serve and Enjoy

    Slice the cake into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea!
