This Cinnamon Breakfast Cake is a comforting, old-fashioned treat that bridges the gap between a hearty breakfast and a sweet dessert. The batter is soft and tender, studded with plump seedless raisins that soften further during baking. The true star, however, is the topping: a generous layer of melted butter and cinnamon-sugar that creates a delightful, crackly crust. It’s perfect for a slow Sunday morning with coffee or a nostalgic afternoon snack. Simple pantry staples come together to create a warm, spiced flavor profile that feels like a hug in every bite.

Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 435ðF (225ðC). Lightly oil and flour a small cake tin or loaf pan.
-
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure a light texture.
-
Add the brown sugar and shortening to the dry ingredients. Use two spatulas or a pastry cutter to cut the shortening into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Make a well in the center and add the beaten egg and milk. Mix until a soft, cohesive dough forms.
-
Fold in the seedless raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Press the dough evenly into the prepared cake tin.
-
Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the cake batter.
-
In a small bowl, mix the 2 tablespoons of sugar with the cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the buttered top.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
