When my daughter’s birthday came around a few weeks ago, she actually requested that I make this for her instead of a birthday cake. That was fine with me! We had her birthday celebration in the morning and then we got to relax the rest of the day. It really took some of the pressure off of everyone. My daughter got to play with her new toys all day long and me and the husband got to help with assembly that didn’t last until the wee hours of the morning. Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at Dinner Then Dessert:
“Perfect for brunch and holiday parties.”
It doesn’t really matter when I make this. The cake disappears faster than lightning!
Ingredients
For The Cake:
2 1/4 cups Gold Medal all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups Domino sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 sticks Land O’ Lakes butter softened
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
For the Middle Layer:
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
For the Icing Topping:
2 cups powdered sugar
3 Tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×9 inch baking pan with baking spray. In your stand mixer, mix the softened butter, sour cream, vegetable oil, vanilla and eggs until fully combined and lightened.
Add in the flour, sugar and baking powder and combine.
Pour 1/3 of the batter in the bottom of the baking pan and spread. In a small bowl mix the brown sugar and cinnamon then sprinkle over the cake batter in the baking pan.
Add in the second 2/3 of the batter carefully. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top has begun browning and a knife comes out clean. Cool cake completely.
To make the glaze combine the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla and pour over the cooled cake.
