Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather and measure all ingredients. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch skillet with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and baking powder until thoroughly combined to distribute the cinnamon evenly.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg with melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, adding moisture and richness.
  4. Incorporate and Stir: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mix just until combined, taking care not to overmix to maintain a light, fluffy texture.
  5. Pour and Spread in Skillet: Transfer the batter to the prepared skillet and spread it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform baking and crust development.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The edges should be golden brown and the center soft and moist.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool in the skillet for 10-15 minutes before slicing to let it set for easier serving.

Notes

  • Use freshly ground cinnamon for a more intense and vibrant flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid a tough cake texture.
  • A 9-inch skillet is ideal to achieve proper thickness and even cooking.
  • Grease the skillet generously to obtain a crispy, golden crust.
  • Start checking for doneness at 25 minutes to avoid overbaking and dryness.
