Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp cinnamon. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, cream 1/2 cup softened butter with 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in 1 egg.
Step 4
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with 3/4 cup milk, starting and ending with flour. Mix until just combined—batter will be thick.
Step 5
Pour batter into prepared pan. For streusel, mix 1/4 cup sugar with 1 tsp cinnamon and sprinkle over top (optional: add chopped nuts).
Step 6
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and top is golden brown. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before serving.
