Quick and Easy Delicious Cinnamon Cake

Most of us have a go-to cake recipe they always return to. Often, it’s a cake that’s quick and easy to make and never fails. For me, that cake is this moist cinnamon cake! It’s so fluffy with a crispy cinnamon topping, stays that way for days, and is ready in just one hour!

This is one of my most tested cake recipes in my repertoire. I have probably baked this cake more than 100 times! It’s the kind of recipe I always return to because I know it will yield a super delicious result—quickly. This wonderful cinnamon cake is moist and airy, with a crispy, crunchy topping. It’s the kind of cake where you think you’ll just have one piece but inevitably end up having two. The kind of cake where you think you’ve baked too much, but it all gets eaten anyway 😉

Here are 5 great reasons to bake this cinnamon cake:

• It’s incredibly easy, and it’s almost impossible to mess up (unless you bake it with convection heat!).
• The cinnamon cake is ready in just 1 hour!
• The recipe can be doubled or tripled to serve many.
• It can be baked in a round pan, a square pan, and even made into cinnamon muffins.
• It stays good for several days and freezes well if there are leftovers.

Tips for Baking the Best Cinnamon Cake

• Make sure to beat the eggs and butter well until fluffy—use an electric mixer or stand mixer.
• Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients for the best fluffy result.
• Keep a close eye on the cake while baking. All ovens are different, so use the time as a guideline and check the cake periodically.

How to check when your cinnamon cake is done

Insert a wooden skewer into the center of the cake. The cake is done when no batter sticks to it. Immediately remove the cake and place it on a cooling rack.

Choosing a Suitable Baking Pan

The cinnamon cake can be baked in a round pan or a square baking pan. It can even be baked as cinnamon muffins.

It’s important to use a pan made for baking, and not a thick dish like an ovenproof dish, as it won’t give the same great result as a proper baking pan will. Your choice of baking pan can affect the baking time, so use the time as a guideline and keep an eye on the cake to ensure you get a moist, fluffy cinnamon cake.

Storing and Freezing Cinnamon Cake

This cinnamon cake is wonderfully moist and stays good for several days. It should be stored well-covered with plastic wrap on the kitchen counter. The cinnamon cake also freezes well. Cut the cake into pieces or freeze it whole. The most important thing is to wrap it in several layers of plastic wrap, and ideally place it in a large freezer bag. It can be frozen for up to 3 months and should be thawed in the fridge overnight.
