    Prepare the cake

    • Spread half of the batter into a prepared pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar layer over the top of the batter in an even layer. Gently and slowly spread the remaining batter over the top to prevent the lifting of the cinnamon sugar layer. Finally, top the cake with the streusel mixture.

    • Bake at 350*F for 50 - 55 mins or once a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
