Cinnamon Sugar Snickerdoodle Cake

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cinnamon Sugar Snickerdoodle Cake.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, grab an 8-inch square baking pan and give it a good greasing and a light dusting of flour to ensure your cake comes out perfectly.

3. Step 3

   In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, then blend in 1 tablespoon of softened butter to create a delightful topping.

4. Step 4

   Set this sweet mixture aside for now.

5. Step 5

   In a larger mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and 1/2 cup of sugar until well combined.

6. Step 6

   Next, cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles fine crumbs, creating a lovely base for your cake.

7. Step 7

   In a separate bowl, beat an egg and stir in the milk until everything is nicely blended.

8. Step 8

   Now, gently add this wet mixture to your dry ingredients, stirring just until combined—remember, we want to keep it tender, so avoid overmixing! Pour the luscious batter into your prepared baking pan, and don’t forget to sprinkle that cinnamon-sugar topping evenly over the surface for a sweet finish.

9. Step 9

   Pop the pan into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 20 to 25 minutes.

10. Step 10

    You’ll know it’s ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
