Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup oil
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups brown sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions

Prepare the Pan

  • First, preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Then, grease a 9-inch cake pan and set it aside.

Mix the Wet Ingredients

  • Next, add the eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla extract to a large bowl.
  • Whisk until everything is well combined.

Add the Dry Ingredients

  • In another bowl, mix the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt.
  • Then, add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined.

Make the Cinnamon Sugar

  • Next, add the brown sugar and cinnamon to a separate bowl.
  • Mix until evenly combined.

Add the First Layer

  • Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan.
  • Then, spread it evenly across the bottom.

Add the Cinnamon Layer

  • Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-brown sugar mixture over the batter. Next, gently spread it into an even layer with a fork.
  • Carefully spoon the remaining batter over the cinnamon layer.
  • Then, gently spread it without disturbing the filling underneath.
  • Lastly, sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-brown sugar mixture evenly over the cake.

Bake

  • Bake for 40-45 minutes. The cake is ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Cool and Serve

  • Finally, let the coffee cake cool slightly before slicing.
  • Serve it warm or at room temperature with coffee or tea!
