Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for baking.

  2. 2

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.

  3. 3

    Add Eggs

    Crack the eggs and add them one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, cinnamon, and lemon zest. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

  5. 5

    Add Vanilla

    Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Baking

  1. 6

    Prepare Baking Pan

    Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.

  2. 7

    Pour Batter

    Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking pan and spread it out evenly.

  3. 8

    Bake

    Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Topping and Serving

  1. 9

    Cool

    Allow the baked item to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

  2. 10

    Prepare Toppings

    Once cooled, sprinkle the top with powdered sugar, and garnish with fresh berries and mint leaves.

  3. 11

    Slice and Serve

    Cut into squares and serve while still slightly warm, enjoying the flavors reminiscent of the Sonoma Coast.
