Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour the pan.

Tip: This method ensures the cake doesn't stick, especially in detailed molds.
2 ✓

Cream soft butter with sugar, vanilla, and salt thoroughly (3-5 minutes).

Tip: Air bubbles are trapped by fat crystals here.
3 ✓

Add eggs one by one, mixing well after each.

Tip: The emulsion forms here. If it splits, a spoon of flour helps.
4 ✓

Mix flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Alternate adding flour mix and milk to the batter.

Tip: Alternating prevents batter from becoming too runny or clumpy.
5 ✓

Smooth into pan and bake 35-40 minutes (toothpick test).

Tip: Don't open oven in first 20 mins or it may collapse.
6 ✓

Cool 10 mins in pan, then turn onto rack.

Tip: Rack allows air flow preventing soggy bottom.
7 ✓

Dust with cinnamon sugar/powdered sugar when cool.

Tip: Delicious warm, but slices prettier when cold.
