- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

- Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking pan.
- Drizzle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter.
- Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon mixture.
- Drizzle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
Notes
- Buttermilk can be substituted with regular milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar added and left to sit for 5 minutes.
- Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake tender.
