- All-purpose flour: 1.5 cups
- Eggs: 2
- Butter: 115 grams
- Milk: 3/4 cup
- Sugar: 3/4 cup
- Baking powder: 2 teaspoons
- Cinnamon powder: 1.5 teaspoons
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- Vanilla: 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius about 15 minutes before baking. Grease the cake pan with a little butter and, if necessary, line the bottom with parchment paper. This prevents the cake from sticking to the pan.
Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon powder, and salt together in a bowl. Then, in a large bowl, cream the softened butter with sugar until you achieve a creamy and light mixture. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. At this stage, adding vanilla helps to enhance the aroma of the cake.
Next, alternately add the dry ingredients with the milk and mix. Pour the prepared batter into the pan and smooth the surface. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
After baking, place the cake on a wire rack to cool completely. Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla, then add the whipped cream. Refrigerate the cream cheese mixture for about 20 to 30 minutes to firm it up a bit.
Once the cake is completely cool, spread the cream cheese mixture over the top and sprinkle a little cinnamon powder or chopped walnuts for decoration. You can serve the cinnamon cake with cream cheese at room temperature or after a few minutes in the refrigerator. Serving it alongside tea, coffee, or warm milk creates a delightful taste.
