A simple, comforting, and nostalgic classic dish passed down through generations, perfect for cozy family gatherings and quick homemade meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sifted all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and freshly grated nutmeg.
  3. In a separate bowl or measuring jug, whisk together the whole milk, melted unsalted butter, eggs, and pure vanilla extract.
  4. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top gently with a spatula.
  6. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the surface of the batter.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil after 25 minutes.
  8. Let the dish cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Sift flour and spices together for even distribution. Fold wet and dry ingredients gently to keep a tender crumb. Tent with foil if browning too fast. Let cool before serving for best texture. Can substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives and eggs with flax eggs for a vegan version. Use gluten-free baking blend for gluten-free option.
