Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Topping
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until no dry flour remains, being careful not to overmix.
  5. For the topping, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
  6. Spread the batter evenly in the greased baking dish and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares and enjoy warm.

Notes

For perfect results, avoid overmixing the batter and check for doneness at the 30-minute mark. For substitutions, use equal parts granulated sugar and a touch of molasses for brown sugar. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or freeze for up to 3 months.
