Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 ½ cups granulated sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature

3 large eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

¼ cup brown sugar, packed

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

        Incorporate Buttermilk: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

          Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl: In a separate small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon and brown sugar together until well blended.

            Layering the Cake: Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter. Carefully spread the remaining batter on top and finish with the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

              Swirl it In: Using a butter knife, gently swirl through the batter to marble the cinnamon-sugar mixture without fully incorporating it.

                Bake the Cake: Place the cake in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                  Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.

                    Enjoy Your Dream Cake: Serve this delightful cake at room temperature, with a cup of coffee or tea for a heavenly experience!
