Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round baking pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry mixture, mixing until just combined.
6. In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and brown sugar to make the cinnamon swirl.
7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon swirl mixture evenly over the batter. Repeat the layers with the remaining batter and cinnamon swirl, swirling gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.
8. If desired, sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the top of the cake batter.
9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Slice and serve the cinnamon-laced coffee cake as a delightful breakfast treat or a scrumptious dessert.
