Simple Cinnamon Cake

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease and lightly flour a 10-inch bundt pan.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat together the sugar, butter, and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, fully incorporating between each one.

Step 4

Beat in the flour mixture, alternating with the milk.

Step 5

Pour batter in the prepared pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 6

Remove cake from oven; cool 20 minutes.

Step 7

While the cake cools, make the cinnamon glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, butter, vanilla, and cinnamon. Heat over medium until sugar is dissolved and mixture is slightly thickened.

Step 8

Turn cake out onto a wire rack set over a plate. Using a fork, poke holes all over the cake, then drizzle with the cinnamon syrup glaze.

Step 9

Slice, serve, and enjoy!
