A delightful morning treat with a cinnamon swirl, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Prepare your baking pan by greasing it with butter and lightly dusting it with flour.
Ensure the pan is evenly coated to prevent sticking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Whisk the dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
Add the buttermilk, melted butter, and egg to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
Use a spatula to smooth the top for even baking.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon for the topping.
Ensure the topping is well mixed for an even flavor.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the batter.
Distribute the topping evenly for a consistent flavor in every bite.
Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
This step allows the flavors to meld and the batter to set.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking.
Uncover the pan and bake the cake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Check the cake a few minutes before the suggested time to avoid overbaking.
Let the cake cool slightly before serving warm.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of glaze for added indulgence.
