Instructions
Cake:
- Grease and dust with a bit of flour a 13x9 baking dish and set aside. Make sure you use a deep pan, otherwise the batter will overflow in the oven, this is very important.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
- Using a hand mixer to a stand mixer, beat in softened butter into the flour mixture until all combined and crumbly.
- Add in eggs, vanilla, and buttermilk and beat until fully combined, the mixture should be fluffy.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Cinnamon Filling:
- In a small bowl, using a for mix together the softened butter, flour, sugar and cinnamon until soft crumbs form.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon evenly over the cake batter. Set aside.
Cheesecake Layer:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, once creamy, beat it sugar.
- Once combined, beat in eggs and vanilla extract until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Scoop the cheesecake filling over the cinnamon filling and using a spatula spread it evenly.
- Streusel Topping:
- In a large bowl, mix sugar with cinnamon and salt. Add in the melted butter and combine using a fork.
- Once the butter is fully combined, add the flour and mix with a fork or using your hands until fully combined.
- Sprinkle streusel topping over the cheesecake layer until evenly distributed.
Bake:
- Bake cake in a 350 degree oven for about 45-50 minutes, until fully cooked.
- Cool completely and after that refrigerate it for 3-4 hours for the cheesecake layer to fully settle before serving.
Glaze:
- Add the powdered sugar to a medium bowl, add two tablespoons of milk and the vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined with no lumps. If the mixture is too thick add one more tablespoon of milk. I like the glaze on the thicker side, yet pourable, so it will look white and shiny, not transparent.
- Use a fork or spoon to drizzle the icing over the cake.
- Slice and serve!
