Preparation Steps

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
• In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
• Pour half of the batter into a greased baking pan. Sprinkle a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon over the batter, then add the rest of the batter on top, smoothing it out.
• Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Allow the coffee cake to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy it warm with your favorite coffee!
