Description
Amish Cinnamon Flop is a delightful soft cake with a tender crumb, topped with a sweet cinnamon mixture.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Combine the dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix the wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Make the batter. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. The batter should be thick and smooth, with no large pockets of dry flour. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.
- Prepare the topping. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Assemble the cake. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Drizzle the 2 tablespoons of melted butter over the surface, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.
- Bake. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the cake is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10–15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm for the softest texture and the best cinnamon aroma.
Notes
- For best results, do not overmix the batter.
- Serve warm for optimal texture and flavor.
- This cake can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
