  • In a large bowl mix all of the dry ingredients together.
  • In a separate bowl mix all of the wet ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and use a wooden spoon to mix it all together. Mix just until combined, do not over mix.
  • Pour the batter into the baking pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon mixture on top and bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean

  • You can serve the cake with some whipped cream if you prefer

Notes

  1. You can leave out the butter if you wish and use extra oil for the cake.
  2. This cake is really quick and easy to put together but be careful not to over mix as this results in a dense cake
