Equipment
Ingredients
Cake
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted, then cooled slightly
- ¾ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- ¾ cup greek yogurt
- 3 cups gluten free all purpose 1:1 baking flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Cinnamon Sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted then cooled slightly
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 4 teaspoons cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons gluten free all purpose 1:1 baking flour
Icing
- 1 ½ cup powdered sugar
- 3-4 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line the bottom of a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a small dish, combine the butter and sugar for the cinnamon sugar. Add in the flour and cinnamon and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, add the melted then cooled butter, white sugar and brown sugar. Beat to combine for about 30 seconds.
- Add in the eggs, greek yogurt, milk and vanilla. Beat just to combine.
- Sift in the gluten free flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes. It will be on the thicker side.
- Transfer to the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Use a spoon to add dollops of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top throughout the cake. Use a knife or chopstick to swirl into the cake batter.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for just about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk together all ingredients for the icing. Drizzle over the warm cake and let cool for a bit. Slice and serve!
