Yield: 1 9-inch round cake
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour; 1 cup granulated sugar; 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened; 1 cup milk; 1 large egg; 2 teaspoons baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1/3 cup granulated sugar (for cinnamon swirl); 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon (for cinnamon swirl)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the softened butter using a pastry cutter or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently just until everything is incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar for the swirl. Sprinkle half of this mixture over the batter in the pan.
Drop spoonfuls of the remaining batter on top of the cinnamon sugar layer. Use a knife to gently swirl the batter and cinnamon sugar together, creating a marbled effect.
Sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top of the batter.
Bake the coffee cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
